Aromasin

Can anyone help me with their personal experience with the hormone treatment Aromasin.  I was on Arimidex but the side effects were not helpful to my recovery, so my oncologist gave me a few months off and changed me to Aromasin.  Over the break I felt amazing, my motivation to live returned, I re-commenced my exercise routine again and I started losing the weight I gained during treatment.  Now back on the hormone treatment I feel depressed again, don't want to exercise, feel lack of motivation and just want cry all the time and that is in just a week of taking them.  Help

    I'm ok Lynda,thanks for asking.My hair is finally through and am coping on Tamoxifen.I take Endep which counteracts the hot flushes,sleepless nights etc.It's not completely doing it but better than not. I'll be going for my mammogram next month -can't believe a year has passed since diagnosis.How are you?

    they do decrease though (well they did for me) and all the side effects are different for different people. I don't know what I would do if my side effects worsened. ....it is a hard decision to make and I feel for Lee.

    See you tomorrow,

    Love, Lynne
