Hello. I also had bilateral breast cancer in 2020. I had a double mastectomy and bilateral radiation. I’ve been on Zoladex and an AI for 2 years. I started off on Letrozole but it gave me carpal tunnel syndrome, so I switched to Exemestane after 3 months. Then again after about 3 months I switched to Arimidex, and been on it since. Carpal tunnel syndrome has mostly gone, and I have fewer aches. Hot flushes aren’t too bad either, except in summer. Check with your onc if they can try another AI maybe before you stop them for good.
