I hope you can stick it out @lrb_03! I’m going to try Anastrazole after hating Exemestane and being a 40yo in a 106yo body from the joint pain.
I would love love love to talk to any woman who made the choice to ditch it and just ‘live free’ again and stayed fine. And that brings up another point: if I chose to ditch HT at this age compared to say 20 years down the track, would my BCa come back no matter the age? Or would I be able to live a side-effect free (if not worry free) life for 10-15-20? years anyway before BCa was ‘destined’ to come back? I’m probably not explaining that very well..but basically what I mean is would it be a definite certainty that NOT taking HT for 5+ years as of this day would bring my cancer back?
If the stats say that it reduces cancer coming back by 80-odd %, then who are the other 20% and what happened to them exactly? Did they take HT and had cancer come back all the same? All the stats and percentages give me a headache.
