Re: trigger finger
Myra Lynn, I also developed trigger thumb on my right hand last year. Very disconserting. I had been on Femara. My onc gave me a "break" of a week or two and then we tried Aromasin. So far, so good. She told me that these AIs are fairly interchangable and something not tolerated by one person is okay for another. And even though they are similar, we individually seem to react differently to each. So that I can probably get through to the finish line by swapping again, if needed. And you probably can as well. The trigger thumb went away when I switched drugs. So keep the faith!
