Maybe try Starting AIs slowly 'over time' to see if the side effects aren't as savage?

I am now 71 and have been on AIs for 6 years, with varying side effects (specially on Letrozole when I first started.)  I will completely stop taking them next year - but in the mean time, I am slowly...

Geez @Zoffiel bit harsh in the wording there. 

Not everyone has a great med onc that understands. Mine changed her mind on what was her original plan of Zoladex and Letrozole and prescribed Tamoxifen, with no explanation. 

As a person who has never taken any prescription medication my whole life, you can see my hesitation as it will be a shock to my system.
You hardly hear and  women say they sail through these drugs. 
I’m certainly not kidding myself.
