Re: Which hormonal therapy has least side effects?

I didnt like the potential serious side effects of Tamoxifen so had an ooph and took arimidex, I had some joint stiffness but nothing too awful and just agreed to stay on it another two years (at least) as I'm still cancer free so hate to stop this drug!
