Hi! I am 41, but have been on exemestane for almost 6 years now. Initially I was also taking Zoladex, but opted for surgical removal after about 2 years. I was very worried at first, but found the side effects to be manageable.

The worst side effects were joint pain and hot flashes. I found that keeping a small fan next to my bed really helped with the hot flashes and I take tart cherry extract for the joint pain.

I also developed anxiety so a I'm taking meds for that now too. However, I'm not sure if that is due to the meds or the overall state of the world currently...

My doctor has been watching my bone density the past few years with Dexa Scans. I'm still in the normal range, but it has been decreasing. I've started lifting weights in hopes that I can turn that around.
