The choice that you make is one you have to be comfortable with.
I have just changed from Tamoxifen to Femara as I had gynaecological issues with Tamoxifen. The side effects, at this stage, appear to be the same and as I lay in bed at night with my aching bones I think what the! It is a long haul, I have 7 years to go but at this stage I am determined to work through the side effects.
I am currently in an exercise program http://www.exmedcancer.org.au/about and I am hoping that will help break the cycle. We had a get together after Fridays session, 10 in the group; some are much worse off than me, so it makes me more determined to keep going.
As @TonyaM said "It’s a hard decision but gather the info, then do what feels right for you."
Take care
