I was diagnosed with BC in October 2022. Grade 2, I had a lumpectomy & lymph node removal, thankfully lymph nodes all clear.
After treatment I was placed on Letrozol, that did not work for me. I was then placed on Tamoxifen, this gave me terrible pelvic pain and a thickness of the lining of the womb. I was then put on Exemestane, I have been on this for about four months or so and have terrible bone pain in my shins. And my fingers are just so painful, worse when I close my fists. The pain is so much worse at night when I’m trying to sleep.
I am seriously thinking of stopping it as my quality of life is nil at the moment. Has anyone else had similar symptoms.
