I am peri menopausal and was put on this combo. Was not offered the option to remove ovaries even though I am 53. Should I consider this? I am concerned about long term effects.
I have tried 3 different AI'S. For me, letrozole is the least offensive of the 3. I struggle with being compliant taking it. It makes my feet hurt and really messes with my mood. I had an appointment with my Oncologist yesterday and have agreed to try again.... she has added Cymbalta with the hope it will lessen the side effects.
Are you on anything post removal?
Ovary removal was never offered to me either! I asked for it. I was on Zoladex (shot in the stomach) The surgery was done in the morning and I was home by lunch time. I was sore and cramping for 5/7 days. I do not regret my decision. Big hugs!
