Exemestane - my experience with side effects

Hello, I know that the posts I have seen on the topic of Exemestane are quite old, but it may still be a revelant topic to some of the chat group. I have taken tamoxifen, arimidex and currently exemestane, which I have taken for 10 years. Unlike the other ladies who posted I have not noticed any significant side effects except occasional hot flushes. I am now 75. I don't know if that makes a difference in my reactions. But for all you ladies (or gents) on exemstane or about to be prescribed it, remember that although some people have really horrid side effects others do not.

  • Hello Fire_Angel

    I just wanted to post a reply to say thank you for sharing your experience with exemestane. You're absolutely right ... whilst some people will have horrid side effects, many other people will get along with minimal or no problems. It's easy to forget that sometimes and so it's great to hear that you've not had any significant problems with your medication. 

    Sending my best wishes,
