Exemestane advice please

Hi all, I have finished my chemo treatment but started taking letrozole five months ago and have been suffering with joint pain so my mycologist suggested I switch to exemestane which I've been taking for just over a week but my joint pain seems doubly worse !! ....has anyone else experienced initial problems and then they have settled down ? or is it likely just to get worse and I should switch back to letrozole?  Thanks so much

  • I have changed from letrozole to exemestane as I could not tolerate the side effects of letrozole the worst being depression and brain fog along with joint pain. 

    Exemestane is causing less joint pain but I am suffering from nausea and constipation

     The oncologist has given me anti nausea tabs which help but can make you feel tired. I really dont want to end up on a cocktail of drugs. Another oncologist said they call it pharasoup.

    I am going to give it a go as having had breast cancer twice on the same side even though I had a mastectomy I feel it is wise.

    I will see how it goes.

    I hope you manage to recreate the new drug.
