Here is my update...went to second oncologist for second opinion. He answered every one of our questions in a neutral tone and normal words. He explained the importance of taking the AI, but, and this is very important to me, he congratulated me trying arimidex twice and now willing to try aromasin. Next greatness: I asked if I could take it every other day and he said that would be great but why don't I do it every third day instead and try for a month then go to every other day for a month as long as the side effects are bearable. Let him know how it's going and if it gets tough just quit.
He is not a doctor who will add on to meds...
Ok, I am in love!
What a difference! So all I want to say is be your own informed advocate!
This site is wonderful!
Moving on, cancer free now
