Elevated Liver Enzymes When Taking Exemestane

@angele2times did go over every other day dosing on exemestane and he won’t approve it. So if that was my choice, I would do it against medical advice. I was off the exemestane for 6 weeks and was 80% improved. Once restarted, side effects started again within 2 weeks. I do electrolytes but not as a sole source of fluid intake. He took me off exemestane “till I felt better” and switched to the letrozole. So hopefully not doing this too fast I stuck with the exemestane got 18 months. I’ll look into the propel to see if it’s any different from what I use. At least I wouldn’t have to mix it. Appreciate the input.

@mistymar I haven't heard of propel helping to decrease side effects of the AIs. I am also on exemestane since March. Headaches are my biggest issue with it. And I am a migraine sufferer also.
Can anyone tell me the reasoning behind the propel and side effects?
Also, I believe almost all oncologists will not approve taking the AIs every other day. Certainly it can be done if you wish. Their position will be "it's not as effective that way".
I thought dehydration was an issue in the AM when taking my AM medications so used Gatorade sugar free every AM. My cardiologist told me not to do this, I don't need the extra electrolytes. I am a big sugar free liquid drinker...sparkling ice infused with electrolytes and antioxidants., flavored seltzers. I did some research...I am finding that tap water is the best (always used bottle water) but use a filter system. Bought the Brita Elite water pitcher with the elite filters (not the standard ones) will be trying it. Hope it tastes good, will add cut up fruits to it.
And at least we will save some money.

I personally feel the Letrozole is over rated. But, you want comfort, and every body, to feel comfortable. But, I do know that you can to exemestane everywhere day. With same results. Good luck, try Propel it tames the beast of side effects for me .
