Managing the Side Effects of Aromatase Inhibitors and Tamoxifen 

Thank you for saying this. Exercise, healthy eating, reducing stress and social support are hugely important in any disease process. However, it is very difficult to find a balance in this crazy world when we are well. Has the focus been on quantity over quality of life? Longevity and survivorship years look good on a graph but who pays the emotional and physical toll?

I agree there so horrible 😢they don’t really tell you how bad the side effects can be for some women … I don’t want to put anyone of trying some women do better than others me personally it’s been horrendous I’ve stopped anatrazole I am trying letrazole but if it’s as bad I’m going to have 😢to stop sickness bone joint pain mood change migraine constantly hot sweats sex problems weight gain the list goes on 😢

Oh and forgot massive one hair loss

Bad head aches ,,sleep deprivation,, ect

Turmeric has estrogen in it. Can’t have it if the breast cancer was estrogen dominant

@@motherof1132 I will have to run that by my oncologist and do some more research on it….. She told me it was fine to take turmeric. Hmmmm. I did some research for a few min….. and found turmeric can help protect against breast cancer because it activates the p52 gene. Turmeric does not have estrogen in it. What source did you find that shows that? I searched quite a few sites…. It only states that it has a protective aspect against breast cancer because it activates the p52 gene. Double check your source. I think you were ill informed on this topic maybe.

Advil is anti-inflammatory but your right…. I was told Tylenol is not.

Correct

No, it doesnt

And cheese can raise cholesterol which is a side effect of anastrozole (high cholesterol). I love cheese…… I think I will try to work on my calcium by taking a pill with vit D and weight bearing exercise.

I have watched so many videos etc. I am starting radiation soon. The Dr. Told me Letrazole for 10 years. I am terrified of the side effects. I think I am opting out of the AI. It sounds like I'd rather be dead then live like that.

@@annnorthup3871 so far the anastrozole (my AI) has not affected me in all the ways the internet has said. There are so many “possible” side-effects, but I was not sick, I do not ache (yet), I do not have hot flashes, am a little more moody but that could be because I have (HAD) cancer, and none of the other side effects have come yet for me except a slight foggy brain if I have not slept enough hours (like when I took care of a relative that had surgery). The pill has not even interrupted my sleep because I exercise enough to be tired and need the sleep. I am mainly concerned that it might raise my cholesterol and increase my osteopenia, but I am working on ways to avoid that as well if possible. I have not been good about cheese or fats as of yet, but I plan to get my cholesterol checked and if it has gone up, then I will change that part of my diet as well. As for osteopenia, I am taking Ca, D3, K (MK7 - every other day to twice a week), doing weight bearing exercise, walk 6-8 miles over the 17 hours I am awake, and I bought a vibration plate for exercise…. Going to give that a try.

@@annnorthup3871 I hope all goes well for you ….. hugs
