Thank you for sharing. I have been on the fence for taking an AI post lumpectomy and 20 rounds of radiation. I'm afraid of the side effects. My oncologist has told me that if I do it will decrease my chance of reoccurring DCIS. I'm going to try it and see how my body reacts.

@joanmdk most of the women I know did pretty well on an AI. Just wanted to say that the side effects change over time. For instance, I had hot flashes the first month or two and then they stopped.

I switched med and then manufacturers and that made my AI more tolerable. I really wanted to take them but with DCIS it may be harder to commit!
