@windyshores reading your post an OP, made me think, with the several/many AIs or estrogen inhibitors, do you think that one works better than others. Femara vs Anastrozole vs Letrazole etc? I took Anastrozole. I’ve not thought of this before 🤷‍♀️ The oncologist recommended Anastrozole snd I started it. Just curious.

Femara is the brand name for letrozole. Docs seem to start with anastrazole. I have noticed some patients who have metastasis seem to take letrozole. I really don't know if one medication is better than another. Sorry! Exemestane is the third AI and is a little different.
