I think it's probably best to ask the onc what you can reasonably expect (and perhaps what medication you should take for any symptoms). Ask about procedure to follow if things aren't going well. Then keep a record of any issues. I think it's important to realise that the reactions to these drugs varies and that while we know some women have it really hard, others don't have much at all. I have been fortunate in that, for most of the time so far, my issues have been mild. During the first couple of months(?), I did suffer from aching legs in the evening but I don't know if that was leftover from chemo or it was the Letrozole - I was certainly suffering from fluid retention after chemo. Heat and the occasional codeine helped that. I think it's important that you go into it without expecting major side effects but with the ability to deal with anything should it occur.
