Hi Gini Pariseau:
I am on Letrozole but at the 3 month mark I am having knee problems.
I, like rosa935, avoided knee surgery by taking collagen, glucosamine chrondroitrin, and vitamin D supplements.
I too am in the process of setting up PT as I have now knee pain which I did not have before Leterzole + now dealing with osteoporosis.
I’m able to stick with the meds and mitigate with walking, yoga stretching and movement in general. Oncologist opined Tylenol or 2 week vacay/restart which sometimes helps.
It worries me to take a vacay as I was 2 sentinel node positive … but the next 5 in line were negative. A beneficial ONCOTYPE allowed me to avoid chemotherapy so AI is my treatment protocol.
Has anyone else taken a vacay/restart? How long? Results?
