Hormone inhibitor treatment decisions

Welcome to the group birdsong​  xx So sorry to see you joining our select little group xx

Not everyone gets ALL the side effects from AIs - I was in my mid 60s when diagnosed (now 73) and started with Letrozole, changed to Exemestane then settled with Anastrozole for 7 years!   

Wait & see what your Onc recommends .... give it a 'real go' .... and all going well, you won't have any bad side effects xx. If you have issues - let them know.

Make sure you take a trusted friend or relative with you to all your meetings from now on (& consider recording them too, on your phone) xx. It is almost impossible to remember everything & this way you can go back over it in the quiet of your home & take notes. xx

Also, consider listening to Charlotte Tottman's Podcasts on her own experience with BC - she is a specialist breast cancer Counsellor who had a double mastectomy, choosing to stay flat - and was surprised at her own reaction to the news, when she'd been counseling others for many years & thought she 'knew it'!  She has done 2 ‘podcast seasons' ... check out the 1st season, right from her diagnosis onwards and how she coped, then move on to the 2nd season. She is very easy to listen to & you'll probably recognise your own reactions in many of the podcasts.

Check out this thread too - there is a lot of info on the forum & what to take with you to hospital - even 'tick sheets' that you can fill in to take with you to your appointments on your mental & physical health .... this info has been gleaned from many of our members over the years ... I hope it helps you xx
