My knee and shin pain didn't start until I had been taking Letrozole for about 18 months and that is what made me question the cause of the pain.

I have to confess that if I was given appropriate info at the onset at the start, I am not sure that I would have refused Anastrozole or Letrozole. I opted for Anastrozole and found myself now dealing with side effects that left me HAVING to consider the impact on my day-to-day life. I am self-forgiving enough to realize you can’t get answers when you don’t know the question.

So here I am hoping my body will carry on without Anestrozole - that my diligence through all these years of mamos will continue to be my safety net along with whatever new options become a viable life saving option. I am grateful for all those out there who are working on the future chapters that will offer us any consideration.

My general request is that success be a journey not an event that the Medical profession embraces. We soldiers in the trenches need you to contemplate what you are hearing from us and have the wisdom and professional courage to deal with what you are hearing from us. You are dealing with our bodies. We are living with our bodies.

I think it might be true that the brain fog has left my list of side effects and my confidence has become a welcomed return. This forum has given us all a place to reset and value our hopes and concerns. ❤️
