Lower dose of Exemestane (<25 mg)

I am hopeful that you can find a way to continue on some form of therapy, as it can lower your risk of recurrence. It does seem like a smaller dose or intermittent dose would be better than giving up altogether. Also there are still a few other choices if you are willing to try them.

Chris, I was on Anastrozole 1 mg, (estrogen didn't reduce enough), went on the trial for Anastrozole 10 mg (which did drop my estrogen <10. ) I have been on Letrozole for about a year, and now I am waking up 3 - 4 times a night with shin, calf, and feet cramps, which makes me get up to walk it off . With Dr's suggestion, I am off Letrozole for 1 week and those side effects are gone.... Now what? What do you know about side effects with Exemestane? I'm not excited about Tamoxifen as my sister was on it and her cancer metastasized and she died... I want to stay on AI to give myself the best chance, but I'm working thru AI's pretty quickly. Cancer diagnosis was Feb 2020. Thanks for any help or info you can provide me. Thanks for all the help you give ALL of us!!!
