BCN did a live on Hormone therapy side effects posted this week on YouTube
This oncologist acknowledged the side effects and that the option to take a break is a good one.
Can’t remember where I read it recently but there was a study that said that taking hormone therapy for 3 months on and 3 months off appeared to have no difference in outcome. That side effects build up over time and the breaks helped to alleviate them. I’m going to speak to my oncologist about this on my next call. (Will have to find the article again and bookmark). I had a 6 week break from Letrozole and some side effect really dismissed. Now nearly 3 months into Exemestane and some of the morning joint aches are getting troublesome. I try to walk it off with the dog but some days I don’t want to get out of bed, even though being still makes me more stiff. It’s all such a balancing act.
Take care all ![]()
