Community Member
a year agoHas anyone paused their estrogen blocker medication, I have paused my letrozole and Verzenio for a few weeks. The side effects have subsided, still going through the stiffness in fingers. Had cortisone shots in both hands six months ago. I have appointment for complete blood work next month.
Accepted Answer
Many people in this community have faced similar decisions about pausing their medications due to challenging side effects like joint stiffness and other complications. This is definitely something worth discussing thoroughly with your oncology team, especially with your upcoming appointment and blood work scheduled - they'll be able to help evaluate the best path forward based on your specific situation and treatment goals.
