Hi @sickgirl
I am currently on Exemestane (6 months) having previously been on Letrozole for 6 weeks.
It was virtually this time last year, that I finished my Radiation regime.

I see my Medical Onc tomorrow.
I have been considering whether to change to Tamoxifen - but don't fancy the hot flushes & other common side effects from Tamoxifen. So will chat with my Onc about it - especially as my symptoms now appear to be abating after 6 months. My only 'real beef' just now - is my thumbs and hand pain. Sadly, most of my hobbies rely on having good hand control - so it can be a major factor in my decision making. HOWEVER - if it is sore hands vs hot flushes & worse ...... I won't change!! ;)
We'll see what happens after tomorrow!!!
Take care everyone xx
