help with hormones

Hey MichelleI am on Femara currently.  Tried Arimidex but that didn't agree with me at all so I am on Femara.  I do have a number of side effects from it and Onco suggested if I wanted to change but at this stage I have opted to stay on this one.  Who is to say the next one will be any better and I will have to go through the whole settling in period again and I am not up for that yet.I couldn't have stayed on the Arimidex for 5 years due to how it affected me.  At the moment I will stay on Femara for the 5 years at least unless a better drug with less side effects takes its place.  They talk about 5 years being the minimum to be on an A.I. so I have accepted that and will run with that for now.  As Leonie said that your Onco is the best person to inform you of this.  I don't know anything about the drug Zoladex but also I have never heard of anyone being told to only be on the A.I. for 2 years either.Maybe there are other ladies on line here who have experienced either Zoladex or a 2 year A.I. plan from their Onco.I wish you luck and all the best with whatever decision you decide to go with.Lots of love, Mich xoxo
