I’ve been taking Letrozole for two years and have been suffering with hip pain for the past year. This morning my oncologist has written to my GP to change my prescription to exemestane. I’m feeling very nervous about changing for fear it will make things worse.
What’s your experience of taking this drug? I’m so scared that it will be worse than Letrozole for side effects.
Thank you and I wish you all well.
