More people with side effects tend to post on forums, which scares us all. I am especially sensitive to medications. I tried anastrazole generic, letrozole generic and then ended up with brand name Femara. My doc also said I could take it alternate days. True compliance is telling doctors about our side effects and working with them to try to reduce them. At least around the edges. I would endure significant side effects to reduce my risk (and am enduring significant side effects on Tymlos for bones) but I have kids who aren't settled yet.

I agree 100%!
That’s why I posted positive … on my 10th year of meds… 5 years tamoxifen, and changed to Arimidex 6th year… I finish up in April ‘23!
I am high risk… I did all I could do!
Praying after I go off I continue to stay well… it’s a little scary! I had hot flashes at the beginning with tamoxifen… I keep active and walk a lot. I also eat well and pray always!
I feel these drugs kept me alive! My bones are okay… little sore from time to time. Celebrating 60 this month and planning g on many more birthdays to come!
I understand everyone is different… not saying everyone can endure, but for those on the fence… don’t give up to easily. These drugs DO SAVE LIVES♥️ I am proof!
No arguments PLEASE!
This is being posted to let others know EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT! There are happy endings using meds!

You are so right! By communicating with your doctors there are often different ways to get good treatment!
