Hi Alsopt
I take my hat off to you. I've been a bit down recently, and felt like I had nothing to offer, so I just didn't come on the site.
I've been incredibly lucky, with minimal side effects from letrozole, but I get your frustration. As you've found before, be your own advocate. Ask to try another of the AI's, or tamoxifen, to see if you have less side effects from them.
I, too, get sick of the pink ribbons and other reminders. However, Idon't think we'll ever forget, anyway.
Do you have a breast care nurse you can talk to about your concerns? Itmight be worth a chat with them.
Take care, Lyn
