Hi Silvergirl
I remember my terror at having to take an AI and the list of side effects. I started off well but unfortunately 18 months in I am feeling the joint aches and hope this doesn’t get worse.
I am dealing with insomnia and hot flashes and hate the memory issues.
My oncologist doesn’t believe in side effects and flatly doesn’t want to know I don’t discuss them. Or anything else. Has the personality of a pot plant though competent in oncology I guess.
I have read the side effects recede once you finish but I fully understand how you feel and the will to return to the life you had otherwise expected. I never expected to age prematurely and the change in me is significant.

I am 18 months in. I know I am the only one who knows what it feels like, the difference it’s made and that everyone who knows me thinks nothing has changed.
You’re nearly there and I congratulate you and wish you the very best. Thank you for your post.
