What reactions are people experiencing with everolimus 10 and exemestane 25?

The search results provided don't contain specific information about everolimus and exemestane combination therapy or member experiences with these medications. However, since exemestane is an aromatase inhibitor like letrozole, it can cause similar side effects.

Aromatase inhibitors like exemestane commonly cause:
- Joint pain and stiffness (affecting hands, knees, back, hips, and shoulders)
- Sore, weak muscles
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Reduced bone density, increasing risk of osteoporosis
- Fatigue

It's worth noting that when switching from one aromatase inhibitor to another, some people find one medication easier to tolerate than another, even though they work similarly. A MyBCTeam member shared that after struggling with letrozole side effects, their oncologist switched them to anastrozole with much better results.

Your oncologist can provide specific guidance about what to expect with this new treatment combination and monitor you for any side effects. If you experience joint pain or other bothersome symptoms, let them know - there may be ways to manage these effects or adjust your treatment plan.
