Letrozole(Femara) +Zoledronic Acid (Zometa)
I am to start 5yrs of Letrozole(daily pill) and Zoledronic Acid (6 monthly intravenous) in a few weeks. The side effect sheets make for crappy reading as usual and am keen to hear anyone's experience...

Thanks @Afraser that is interesting.
I am going to get a second opinion from another oncologist here in Sydney as I am not really “ connecting” with the one I have even though she was referred by my amazing breast cancer surgeon who referred me to a similarly amazing radiation oncologist for my radiotherapy and plastic surgeon for my reconstruction.
The present oncologist first tried to tell me it was “ age related” ( I am 63 but have never had anything like this before and my 88 year old mum has no arthritis and almost no aches and pains) and then said “ oh anyway you can have surgery”.
I figure if I am going to have a long term relationship with my oncologist there needs to be a connection.
