I did not tolerate anastrozide well. I switched to exemestane. I feel I can manage life on this AI. I am having my reconstruction next Wednesday so I’m off the drug for 10 days before surgery and 2-3 weeks after surgery to help with the healing process.

Good for you! I am 79. I am going to wait the 3 months to see if my hiatus is meaningful in any way. Not going to be motivated to continue at this point.
I am hoping my physical therapy can give me answers in some way.

I took Anastrozole for approximately 6 months after having BC and having an mastectomy on the right breast, I was switched to Exemestane because of the side effects. I don't have as much joint pain but have pain in my left breast after having reduction surgery. I also have pain and numbness in my right underarm where lymph nodes were removed. Have pressure and swelling in the left beast (and in the right breast that has an implant) in the evening hours. Would like to know if anyone has any of these side effects.
