Hi, anyone on this and have side effects? I’m almost half way through my supposed 5yrs of this and still have various side effects on and off. Nausea, weakness and have fainted a couple of times over ...
Hi @sickgirl - I had horrible side effects on Letrozole & only lasted 6 weeks. Then I had 6 months on Exemestane to reach the same pain level & have now been on Arimidex for 12 months now & coping well - but I am sure it is the Medicinal Cannabis Oil that is helping me stay on it. It takes the edge off the pain & I am no longer taking pain killers or anti inflams.
Don't be afraid to ask your Onc 1) for a break - 3-4 weeks 2) change to a different AI
All the best xx
Here is the side effect chart .... let me know any others & I'll add them!! This covers ALL the AIs
