@Afraser, as you regularly tell us, you are the queen of the BC treatments having been able to work through chemo and having few side effects from Letrozole.
Had you not been so fortunate you may not have believed a word of that research or the oncologist's recommendations.
Once these medications badly affect one's lifestyle in relation to bones and heart as with @Cath62 (above) then we have to make tough choices - regardless of the money we pay.
As the chemical companies know all these side effects why don't they add ingredients to prevent or minimise them ? Oh no, better to make extra medications to make them even more money at the patient's expense.
