Thanks Leonie for taking the time to respond.

Now they are starting to intensify again, I think with the warmer weather....but I shouldn't complain.....I've been very lucky compared to others who have suffered terribly with treatment! :-) Yes, I plan to talk to my oncologist about this....when or if a switch is made to an aromotase inhibitor. Perhaps they will run a hormone test to see how I'm going re menopause? Anyway, thanks again, Celeste x
