Oncologist checkup yesterday am pulled off Arimidex and now on Aromasin, any ladies on this??

Morning Ladies!

I had my Oncologist visit yesterday, after keeping a diary at his request for 6 weeks off Arimidex and then back on, joint pain was substantial. So he said I only had 1 option, and that is to go on Aromasin, so wanting to know if any of you are on this and how you find it? He said its pretty much the same but sometimes the change is enough to make a difference. Thanks! Melinda xoxoxo

    Goodness the preventative is worse than the cause sometimes.  I still struggle with aching bones!  Damned if you do and damned if you don't!  Sounds like you will have side effects regardless.  It's about how your body adjusts it would seem!  What a so and so!  How long will you have to be on the new drug for?
    Take care and sending you a virtual hug from me xxxxxxx
