There are other anti-hormone medications available but my thought is that you're only swapping out side effects (although they all seem to have similar ones). At some point you have to decide if the side effects outweigh the benefits. For me, I'm not thrilled with the side effects I'm experiencing but I know I'll never regret going through this to improve my odds but I could regret going off the treatments if the cancer came back. I would talk to your oncologist and see what your options were and what your odds look like if you're taking the medication and what they look like if you stop taking the medication. Then you have to decide if the side effects are worth it to you or not in the long run.
