Know how you feel been there too.Your medicalor surgical onc should be able to provide % reduction in risk and I think primek found an online tool for you to work it out yourself.My radio finished 28/5 - had to have major dental then before starting hormone therapy in August plus had a holiday in Cairns did not want start until back home.Am post menopausal so Aromatase inhibitors probably Arimidex and as osteoporotic will need a bone builder probably Prolia injections 6 monthly. If you google it there is a site comparing side effects of hormone therapy options. I gather from talking to ladies on this site side effects settle down after 12-18 months and they have also kindly explained things they did to mitigate against arthritic pain eg exercise physiologist, magnesium , panadol osteo and glucosamine.Also your medical onc should be able to discuss side effects and how to deal with them - the bcna kit has a useful section providing questions you can ask and also info on hormone therapy plus fact sheets online. This site is invaluable for chatting to others who are going thu It who provide advice and support - will keep you posted when I know more about my situation 3/8 but just remember you are not alone there are many of us and we look after each other. xo
