Sorry to hear you're having problems with treatment options. I am also 70 and have had a similar journey to yourself. Examestane crippled me and my Oncologist changed me to Tamoxifin. After 6 months I've had no side effects at all except stubborn weight gain. We each respond differently to medication, but I can confidently report that Tamoxifen is a much kinder treatment for me. Wishing you well in your decisions and future health journey.
Thank you, it is hard to know what to do at times, surgery and radiation seemed more straightforward decisions but the hormone inhibitors so much harder. Tamoxifen is up for discussion at next appointment, so will see how it goes. 🤔
