Hi, Thx for your info. I’ve heard that from others too. Unfortunately, my oncologist told me that exemestane is not the best drug to take if you have had lobular cancer, which I did and he won’t prescribe it for me. Fortunately, I am doing much better on letrazole, but there is still discomfort, especially at night. Lots of exercise seems to help, heating pad at night, Aleve once a day.

I am taking anastrozole and have very few problems. I stay active and try to get out for a 3 mile walk daily. The drug does seem to bother my hands a bit. My oncologist always asks me about my hands. Last month I had some shooting pains in one wrist. I cannot say that the anastrozole caused them, just assumed that. I put ice on my wrist and have not had a problem since. Also, I knit a lot and do not know if the motion from that could be a benefit.
