Aromatase Inhibitors: Did you decide to go on them or not?

I really like this blog spot. Some of the others will not allow any talk of natural AI's which unfortunately I'm relegated to due to lack of tolerance or toxicity to the current AI's. This blog is the best! I am worried that we moved to an area that has a horrible level of healthcare, no capacity due to rapid influx of residents and lack of medical care...I'm hoping now that I've sent the request for appt at Mayo in Phoenix that I can get in soon. I just noticed that I'm losing weight again without trying and just feeling unwell generally and I don't know if it's detox from the Letrozole or if I've had cancer appear as a distant recurrence (had mammogram/ultrasound follow-up last week and nothing showed up)...it's just so unnerving when you've had cancer it's like for me everything now has a different color to it i.e. I assume it's cancer not a common cold or headache or UTI...anyone else feel that way?

I feel your pain. If I get a pain anywhere, my first thought is is it cancer. I think we have cancer PTSD and I don’t know if it will ever get better; it may just be our new norm, unfortunately, but you are not alone. Sending peace and 💗

I think we all feel this way, and in my area the healthcare is mostly a joke. I travel an hour or three depending on what we need for almost all care. The first several years I was afraid of everything but not wanting to see a doctor for anything. Now, I am afraid of everything and the doctors don’t want to see me. Go figure. My oncologist is amazing, an hour away.
I believe we can all take whatever works best for us, but we do have to be careful about what we promote here. I was very surprised at how many people read these threads, who do not ever comment. We wouldn’t want someone to read our post and think it was ok to take something not helpful or even harmful to them. It is our responsibility to think of the community as a whole.
