    This is my second time on aromatase inhibitors. I'm a grandmother, so not concerned with raising a child. I'm glad you have come to peace about the medication. Even though I don't have the same concerns you do, I still want to stick around. Five years on Anastrozole the first time. Now I'm on Letrozole. I don't feel good, and I have some other scary things going on beside the cancer. I've had chronic pain issues for well over 25 years and the aromatase inhibitor exacerbates that. However, the medication is a major component in doing well, so even though I'm looking at taking it for the rest of my life I will if at all possible. Take care of yourself and enjoy your precious boy.

    I so appreciate your videos . After watching all this side effects I’m for sure not going to go through this . There has to be a natural medication that can be used . I have allways said all pharma drugs are toxic and they’l will hurt you . This is just what I truly think . I’m do for a double mastectomy , not sure at this point how I’ll handle all this . I’m still trying to process it . Not easy at all 😢 I have DCIS just caught at stage 0. Doc said no chemo or radiation needed but she said a hormone yes .

    I’m watching your videos as I prepare for start Tamoxifen and this one really resonated with me. I’m 37 and have a 18 month old and a 3.5 year old and they are the biggest reason why I’m willing to at least try it. My cancer was caught VERY very early and so my risk or recurrent/secondary cancer is very low, but in reading about it, I want toy best chance to be here for them to experience life with them… not excited about being on it (dreading it, really), but I’m determined and motivated by them. I hope I can maintain that perspective.

    I saw your hair loss video, and I am pleased to see that you have kept your lovely pixie cut. A woman in my church has decided the same after losing hers, and it looks stunning. Continued good health. God bless!

      @@ChelseyTarnow my doctor wasnt happy about it. I had a great response to treatment. Chemo, operation and radiation. I had invasive lobular carcinoma estrogen +. I had much pain in my bones n constant headache n worse depression with 20mg. That was no life. I feel much better with 5 mg . The doctor said 5 mg is better than nothing.

      I was on it for 7 years and just ended it this year. I will be 43 in 10 days. I experienced so many side effects and the worst for me was bone pain. Someone asked me if I had heard about Claratin this was after I had stopped the medication. Apparently it helps with the histamine response that can cause pain. I started seeing a naturopathic oncologist as well who has helped me with my nerve issues and histamine issues. I wish I had known about the histamine response issues earlier on but I think this is only new information. Sending you healing light and strength. I took part in First Descents this year as well and highly recommended these getting out there adventures or experiences to help connect with other survivors and the community. ❤
