I disagree with the oncologist, while mine was surprised it didn't begin sooner, I was trying to be positive. Peripheral edema is when your legs, ankles and feet swell. That is gone now. The body aches, fatigue and insomnia were really making life miserable, could barely walk.

I really agree with both of you @emeli13 and @whr , I don’t think that side effects have to show up right away. Especially since the whole point of the drug is to starve the cancer of estrogen. Lack of estrogen ages us prematurely and the side effects of aging don’t happen the day we enter menopause. Right? If they aren’t so bad to have to abandon the drug altogether, have you tried talking to your obgyn or primary care about helping with side effects?
