Thank you for all this valuable information. I stopped Arimadex for 1 month but 2 doctors said I should go on Aromasin. The doctor w the longest experience said o should go on tamoxifen for 2 yrs then switch. This has all been so frustrating. Bottom line I'm so afraid of all the short b love g term side effects. It's been non stop treatment. I've read about so many serious side effects from Tamoxifen.

Have you read about how a person's fear n doubt can influenence outcome? Poor outcome if you didn't trust the medicines. Interesting!

Let's keep this thread going. I'm all for personalize care n personalize medicine dosing as well. This is all valuable information. We need to continue to question n research. Thank you for sharing!

I had a second and third opinion after stopping Arimidex for one month. Two of the three doctors suggested I switch to Aromasin. If side effects are too harsh they want to switch me to Tamoxifen. I started last Friday. Finger's crossed that I have no horrible side effects. Decided that if my "gut" says to stop again, I will listen. Realized at the end of the day, it's our bodies that are taking these drugs, not the doctors.

Thank you everyone for all your support and sharing information. If you come across anymore studies and information about Als impact on the brain please post. I know that it impacts more than just our bones.....

Wishing all of you good health!
