Yes, I stayed on exemestane. Made sense for me and to be honest the side effects are easy to control with exercise and ibuprofen. I did just recently begin orolia bc of osteoporosis diagnosis and I had a total hip replacement. I am feeling well and feel the exemestane may keep the cancer at bay so staying on it until my 10th year

getting mine. note on BC tho

I stopped receiving e-mails for what seems like several months but just recently (within the last month) started getting all sorts.

That happen to me few months ago and I contacted Mayo Connect and they fixed. Somehow my email was flagged invalid.

In grey area at bottom of Mayo Connect page is a "Contact Mayo Clinic Connect" link, fill out from at tell them your problem.

Hello everyone, has anyone else stopped receiving Mayo Clinic group posts? I haven't had any for quite awhile from any of my groups.

@mom23boys I agree with you 100%. I was diagnosed at 64 I'm 67 now. The doctors explained that the medication would lower my chance of recurrence by 50%. With a low oncotype score I figured I was in a pretty good place to take a chance. I will say that many days I question and hope that I made the correct choice and that works on my nerves.

Hi jeannie! Thank you for the thoughts. You know, if I were much older, say 70's (I'm 59), I think I'd opt more for quality of life over quantity. That plays quite a bit into the idea of putting up with whatever side effects they throw our way until you find you're living to control the pain rather than just living. I think that makes sense. Have a nice day.

Birkenstock also are orthopedic and more than sandals. Orthotics helped me too as well as exercises for the feet and toes when I Tore my plantar fascia

......and it has been 12 weeks now and I still get it on the tops of my feet, making it very hard to walk in shoes for any length! But my feet are fine now on the bottom.
