Scott and Jojo:
Steroids are generally avoided as much as possible in medicine and used as briefly as possible. (That isn't to say that they won't prove to be a good answer for breast cancer; but it is why I personally would be very reluctant to jump on the bandwagon for exemestane since it has such a short history of use. So Jojo, in answer to your question my thought is that using 2 steroids may be even more cumulative in whatever adverse effects steroids have, even if they make one feel better for a time while they are being used.)
Scott, your information about the testosterone-like effects and former use of testosterone itself to treat bc particularly interested me. I am a participant in the clinical trial for low-dose testosterone use by NED bc survivors, and in the scramble of use of all the different choices of drugs to try to treat cancer, I don't find it foolish to give equal serious consideration to "natural" substances such as testosterone. (I am aware that widely-known bc sources such as Dr. Love caution that testosterone may be dangerous for bc patients to use.)
I'd be interested in any particular references you have to the past or current use of testosterone itself.
A.A.
