Hi
After my lump was removed I have tried various medications, the first two with side effects which were getting worse. I have been taking exemestane for about 6 weeks and it's not too bad at the moment apart from feeling very hot when my husband is complaining how cold he is. I read that I would have regular checkups . Will these be with my GP and are these blood tests. The last blood tests I had were in July last year . Do I need to request another blood test or wait until my GP calls me in. I'm not sure how often these should be done. I'm feeling a bit tired but that could just be the time of year
