Due to severe joint and muscle pain, my onc. wants to switch me from Arimidex to Femara. I'm fine with this, but she wants me to stop taking the Arimidex for one month first. I am hesitant to do this. Has anyone else made this switch and if so did you have to take the month break in between? Also, is it better with Femara? Thank you!
