OH dear .... I will be discussing tablets with the onc specialist in Taree in 4 weeks ...... I am already full of arthritis - shocking pain in my hands (specially the thumbs - I can't even undo a water bottle lid!) I also have stuffed knees & hips - and thought I was getting gout the other day my big toe was SO sore! (Luckily it came good!)
My main exercise is in my pedal kayak .... not weight bearing like walking - but I can do it ALL DAY! :)
SO .... is Letrozole better for aches & pains than Tamoxifen? I understand Letrozole can give you weaker bones, but Tamoxifen gives more 'menopause' symptoms - and I had SO MUCH FUN with all that 20 years ago! NOT! :( I reckon I had some of the worst menopause symptoms for 10 years! grrrr I am NOT keen on getting them back again for another 5 years!
