@arpie thanks for sharing that! that helps shed some light on what Ive been told. I find it absolutely incredible that as a community there is such an obvious problem with AI's with nobody willing to step up and address it or find a way to work with it. Astounds me! It really is about them and their stats clearly...because Im guessing once I hit 5yrs clear, he'll pull me off and then say see you later. Hard to not be cynical really and I think as we all reflect on our own paths to here, no medical professional has the RIGHT to underplay the reality of this medication and anybody who hasnt been through BC or walked the path or taken the meds have any real understanding...just their opinion.
Ive been down the path of the thumb pain and I dont have it now but Im on Aromasin, which is chronic as its a steroid!!! OMG!!! it is literally ridiculous! the weight gain and they do not care at all! In fact they just say eat a good diet and EXERCISE haha!!! ohhh can so do that with the side effects. They don't realise they set you up to fail in a respect. Anyway, thats all folks.
Everyone is absolutely different, I had zero side effects on tamoxifen for 4yrs. It was only post treatment and Arimidex and Aromasin that have been pretty tough, Letrozole is all I have left now. The Oncologist said that they are all the same BUT we all react differently so we may find side effects a little less on one...which one? its a try and see.
