Hibirdsong I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I was triple positive and commenced the Aromatase Inhibitor Letrozole after my radiation treatment whilst finishing immunotherapy and chemotherapy 3 years ago. The side effects are manageable and I have taken a “holiday” from the tablets for up to a month each year ( for long haul flight travel and other reasons).
I take them at night which seems to be better for any side effects (I do have aches in my feet now and then). I find yoga is great for keeping my joints mobile.
Good luck with your discussion. My oncologist thinks it’s worth me being on these for a total of 10 years.
Hi Tri, thanks for your supportive response and tips of when you found taking meds best for you. I am anxious to hear what treatment my Oncologist recommends tomorrow. I know whatever it is I will get through it as I have this community ❤️ support. Thanks again, wishing you smooth sailing with your treatment. 🩷
