Re: AIs and depression
Hi Nina,
I can't tell from your history, but you could ask your onc if some form of ovarian ablation would be helpful, since you are triple positive.
In addition to that, strongly consider the additional benefit that one gets with consistent daily exercise. Add to that the benefit from working on sticking with a diet that is balanced in the types of fats one eats. Add to that the benefit from minimizing any habits such as smoking.
You are welcome to participate in today's chat where there will be a Registered Dietitian and a discussion with the author of one possible breast cancer diet, if that seems helpful. (PM or e-mail me for access to the chat, akktncomment@gmail.com .) The chat will begin in about 2 hours.
I hope the Femara helps but am glad you are trying to consider other options, given the reaction you had to the Aromasin.
Best wishes,
AlaskaAngel
