Hi @Sunshine0206
I started on Letrozole after I completed radiation at Easter & started it shorty afterwards. It didn't really suit me & I wasn't happy with the side effects. After 6 weeks, I had a checkup with my Onc & we discussed my pain issues (continual aches & pains - quite significant, given that I was already in pain with arthritis anyway .....) and she suggested I try Exemestane instead - and has been quite happy with the results since.
I still have 'some pain' but it is totally manageable!
All the best with your ongoing treatment!! xx
