Why am I switching between so many hormone therapy medications for breast cancer...

Hi I'm sorry you are on your 4th hormone treatment. How did the Letrozole do for you ? Were there side effects? They want me to start that after my radation for 5yrs. I'm a little concerned 😟 TYIA

I’ve been through Anastrozole & now on Letrozole. I take in the AM with food. It’s very constipating so I take psyllium powder every day. I take a Zyrtec every day to help with the hot flashes. A tip I got on Reddit. I have a lot of pain in my hands and knees. I had a PE after radiation, so I’m one a blood thinner and can’t take Advil for the pain. Trying to make the best of it. Added Kisqali 2 months ago, more testing every month. This is my 3rd IDC ++- and I recently discovered I have a PIK3CA mutation. Good luck ❤️

I'm taking anastrozole as well. Just sweat a lot especially. At night. I've also been more depressed, tired, and irritable. I'm not invasive and wondering if I get total historectomy if still need to take them.
