@kmakm Way to go , Kate! You were awesome! And thanks for having my drug holiday question featured too. I am doing a diary for it but had not contemplated continuing it after resuming the drug but now...

Hi Kate I've lasted on letrozole for 19 months before desperately needing a break. Only last night my hubby said he could see how i was suffering in the past month due to my shoulders and neck area in total meltdown. But i was determined to last till June...i nearly got there...i made the executive decision to start 4 days early. I still marvel at being able to move more easily or better still not having to think about it. My hands will take longer. My onco has offered for me to swap drug but i feel like I'm swapping one lot of side effects for another lot...not much point.
I thought you might have to restrain yourself! I think as someone else said a session on how to cope with endocrine therapy would be good but i think the strategies for coping would be better coming from people at the coalface, as the medicos don't seem to have any solid answers.
The one thing I'd like to try whilst drug free is to up my weight resistance workout (go to gym a couple more times just for that) to strengthen my body further and see if that has a positive impact when back on the drug particularly as i was no where near this fit when i started on the drug. Take care Cathxx
