comparing AI'S
Hello all,
I have a question about the AI'S. I was on arimidix for two yrs but changed because of terrible joint pain and then Femara and it gave me constant diarrhea and now the onc has switched me to aromasin. While I was leaving the onc's office the nurse suggested I should try to stay on one medication since it would be more helpful in preventing a recurrance. I don't think this is true as long as I'm taking one or the other but I plan to ask my onc next visit. But what I was wondering is how the drugs compare with each other. Any info would be helpful. Thanks...
