Having a 4 week break from Exemestane/Aromasin ...... who else has done that?

@arpie that's sounding pretty good for only 1 week! I know for me and the diary proved it, 6 weeks off Arimidex was so noticeable, it was unbelievable.! I think the thing is we're just wanting to find the lesser of all the evils to have a relatively good quality of life whilst on it. 

If I could can it now I absolutely would, but admit uuuugh lol, after 1 recurrence too scared but then have been on Ai's for 8yrs and soooo OVER IT!!!!! 

So keep writing it up and see how the next 3 go! Have a super weekend!! :)
