Thanks so much for your reply. I am about 6 months into Anastrozole. (Not liking the joint pain).
I recently have been wondering about trying for a different lab to test? My oncologist said he’d never seen not being able to get the oncotype. He was newer to the system where I saw him. (If that makes sense … it’s university system)
And yes! I totally understand what you’re saying about not knowing and not having a seat belt!
Thank you again!

Regarding your joint pain, there are a number of things you can do to help, of course with your oncologist's approval. If your joint pain is really debilitating, a different AI like letrozole may have fewer side effects for you. When I started feeling better 3 months after my double mastectomy and reconstruction, I also started becoming more active and yes, that helped. If I wake up with aches and stiffness, I occasionally take two ibuprofen with good results so I can move. I make sure my vitamin D levels are in the upper range of normal, This made a huge difference in the joint pain. The doctors I've talked to look at me blankly when I tell them this. Of course, a good diet is always part of feeling well. I wish you well in your journey to health and acceptance 🙂
