Remember you are in charge of your healthcare. You have to process the information they give you and make a decision that you feel is right for you. I have been off the med for seven months and I can say it took at least six months to feel "normal" for me and my age. It is better each month but it takes time. When I started having problems with my big toe, I told everyone that was the last place the med was, I was joking but the toe is fine now. The oncologist offered up other alternatives but admitted they probably would produce the same effects, Tamoxifen was not an option for me, too many serious issues with that drug. At any rate, PT helped the knee quite a bit, I don't get enough exercise but with the cold and ice settling in it is going to be more difficult. I will add you to my growing list of people needing prayers, hang in there, it will get better.
