New treatment.

Hi all.  Has anyone on here been on Exemestane my oncologist has stopped my other treatment and put me on this tablet .Thanks.

Hi Lesley,

I was on exemestane for eight years after my primary diagnosis. I would have kept going if it can been clinically approved but I had already had extensions beyond normal treatment. I wasn’t really aware of SE; possibly some loose bowels at times and hot flashes at night. I was discharged in 2016 but discovered lots of mets last year. I can’t help but suspect that everything started growing when the exemestane stopped! 

Hi lesley I just started exemestane last week was on palbociclib and letrozole for 4 years but some liver involved now so changed to exemestane doing ok so far no side effects… Am also starting everolimus oral next week if bloods are okay.  Liz x

I was on exemestane. Its very similar to letrozole. I didn’t have any side effects. It was fine.
