Hi @Jailbirdstreet have you received a copy of the BCNA My journey kit as I think it is covered in there as well as a BCNA online information sheet about why we need hormone therapy . I found the My Journey kit really useful to help me think of questions I should ask my medical team. PS Many people on here I have read swear by Powdered Magnesium for muscle aches.
I have been on hormone therapy 6 months - an aromatase inhibitor called Letrozole- yes there have been side effects but manageable thus far.I too was very worried about this aspect of treatment .I did not have chemo just radiotherapy.The members on this site have helped me a great deal with managing side effects and will pitch in if you decide to go ahead and have concerns including me.
