Patb,

If your onc is willing to try another A.I., do it. Many women have done that and some, including myself, experienced relief from side-effects. We all understood that the different AI brands are basically the same in their chemical composition. Somehow, there are subtle differences. Any physicians should be open-minded in allowing the patients to make the change. What harm does the change do?
