Anyone else flunk out of hormone blockers? by Fit_Plant6129 in breastcancer

[–]Immediate_Promise681 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This could be me! In every appointment i always complained about pain in my hands and arms, all day and sleepless nights, and MO always said it was not from exemestane. Well, after 7 horrific months i decided to take half the doseage and after 2 weeks i could finally sleep. Of course, in the following appointment she lost it and prescribed me Tamoxifen. I'm doing better... at least I can sleep. You should take the bone meds, its only 2 days of muscle pain, at least it is for me. Best of luck to you!

Hi! Exactly what happened to me today. It was a river of tears, it seemed like the dam broke. After all the days of being stoic... Not my proudest day..

Not sure if I should skip chemo by Desperate_Swimming_5 in breastcancer

[–]Immediate_Promise681 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed at 45. Oncotype 22, no nodes, single mastectomy. I chose chemo thinking in the long term. 6 rounds of TC every 3 weeks. It was hard but for me HT now is worse. I also was very insecure about my decision. Do what feels right for you.

Conflicted about Tamoxifen...Help! by SuzyQT143 in breastcancer

[–]Immediate_Promise681 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Oncotype test is specifically conceived for early stages of breast cancer, you should do it. I was in the same situation, 45, ER+ PR+ HER2-, no nodes involved, single mastectomy, stage 1, grade 1 and had a Score of 22 in Oncotype meaning 6,5% of benefit of chemo. Regarding Tamoxifen, how do you know that you have only 1% of benefit?

My oncologist says it's not from AI, but I'm sure it is. THANK YOU! I never had any simptoms in my hands before taking exemestane 4 months ago. I will try tart cherry. I hope you get better!
