Exemestame - weird side effects.
Hi all,
I'm 6 weeks into my 10+ years of endocrine therapy for Stage 2b, hormone +ive IDC.
So far the side effects are minimal (esp when compared to chemo!) but I have a few odd ones and I wanted to know whether it's the exemestane or something else.
The complicating factor is that I finished radiation and then immediately got covid, so it's anyone’s guess as to which side effects belong to which cause.
I’ve done a quick search here, as well as a decent trawl of eviQ but I can't find anything (although bloody eviQ didn't mention mood, and exemestane seems to affect everybody’s mood. Humph.)
So, does anyone else have the thing where you lie down at night, and then your nose immediately gets blocked up?
I can be breathing easily all day, but within minutes of going to bed at night my nose is so stuffy I can't breathe through it at all. It's very annoying.
