Lupron Injection plus Exemestane

Any updates? I’m on Lupron after lumpectomy (minimal side effects, if any). Did Tamoxifen for a while, with minimal side effects, but a lesion in my retina gave us a scare, so we stopped the tamoxifen. I’m set to start exemestane soon, and I’m scared because everyone seems to have terrible side effects. I’ve already experienced a flare up of an old injury (lumbar sacral disc shrinkage/arthritis). 🙁

I started exemestane several months ago. So far it has been the best AI for me. I tried both of the others. I’m walking every day 10,000 steps and my joint and muscle pain is much better. I still get tired and hair looks old but for me it’s the best option for me.

The Als aren't fun. I have been in pain on and off and work out with weight literally everyday that's the only thing that takes my pain away.
