Nanato6~
I was just wondering what your final decision was with the advise of your oncologist on taking an aromatase inhibitor. I am close to 72 and I have been on Letrozole for 2 years. My Oncologist just took me off of it for 30 days to give me a “break”. My joint pain has increased steadily the past 8 months. I had arthritis when I was diagnosed and I have read that A I side effects are worse when you already suffer. Tylenol & Aleve really do not cut the pain. I used to work out 3-6 days a week, walk daily, & bike. Now I read, do art and try not to move.....ahhhh! My Oncologist suggested I start on Tamoxifen to replace the Letrozole. It has it’s own set of bone pain issues.
Thank you for sharing what your final decision.

I'm following this thread. I took Arimidex for a year and a half and had sever side effects I switched to Exemestane and also had side effects. I'm now taking Tamoxifen and these have their own set! I'm seriously thinking of going back to Exemestane. Not sure yet. I'm waiting for some lab test results.
