I wanted to update all. I talked to my oncologist, since I've had bc twice now, she doesn't advise that I stop my adjunct treatment. She said taking AI's reduces my recurrence risk by 50%, and the most efficacy is in the first 5 years of taking it, so I'm almost at 3 years. I took Tamoxifen for 5 years after the 1st dx, so I can't go back to Tamoxifen. I'm going to start up on my Zolodex shots (to put me in chemical meno) and start a new AI though - switching from Aromatase to another one to see if that's any better. Now that I've been off for 2+ weeks, I will say my joint pain/stiffness is pretty much gone but I still have brain fog and fatigue - but maybe that's something else. I also have two teenage sons! LOL. I'm going to talk to the Integrative Oncology RD in a few weeks to see if there are any lifestyle/nutritional supports that might help.

I'm tagging fellow members @sarahmh @cancerwifemom @aestong into this discussion. I think they may have similar experiences to share.
