Hello Everyone
I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer HER 2 Positive in 2020 had was on Tamoxifen, I was just post menopausal but as I work full time and on time own asked for Tamoxifen as was worried about joint paint with Letrozole. I found one brand of Taxmoxifen suited me well and stayed on it for 4 years. I then started worrying and maybe that I should transfer to Letrozole. I was prescribed Exemestane as there are more options of lactose free, I have been on this for 6 months with a different brand each month, joint pain and tingling in fingers was awful plus joints really puffed up and I couldn't wear any rings plus put weight on around my middle. I guess due to the steroid in it. Its mainly my hands that suffer but I really recommend spraying magnesium on at night as it does ease it.
As I want to give everything to this and not return I am going to try Letrozole, I am staying positive about it. Has anyone else moved from one drug to the other? I seem to have had varied advice as to whether I have 2 weeks off before starting the new drug or can carry on - would be interested to hear anyones thoughts on this please?
Keep staying strong.
