Re: struggling with my AI's(i hate them)

I am doing pretty well on Aromasin after a bout of Femara. My onc suggested that often one can switch around, finding what is best tolerated. Or staying on one until the SEs accumulate and then make another change.
We all tolerate the various drugs differently.
Keep the faith.
