Letrozole Joint/Muscle Pain

I've recently switched to Afinitor & Letrozole. The side effects, joint & muscle pain, of Letrozole are taking a toll. Currently, I take both in the morning with just water. Would taking them both at night help? Or maybe Afinitor in the am and Letrozole in the pm? Any tips appreciated!

Two interesting articles related to palbociclib

Overexpressed cyclin D1 and CDK4 proteins are responsible for the resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitor in breast cancer that can be reversed by PI3K/mTOR inhibitors I’ll post sometime later (long post) an update on my wife’s treatment, but unfortunately she had to stop palbociclib after 29 months and is now on Afinitor

Be Careful with Exemestane

Long story short, Afinitor and Exemestane were to blame. I know everyone reacts differently, but please watch your blood pressure and be careful with these two. Melinda

Changing Meds to Xeloda/capecitabine

I was on Afinitor/Everolimus and Letrozole/Femara for 6 months. I developed pneumonitis and had blood in my sputum when I coughed so now after a two month break and radiation therapy I will be moving on to Xeloda next week if my labs are good. Any advice on Xeloda is greatly appreciated.

I think I will be coming off of Xeloda, which I have loved….

My doctor says I have a few choices, but hasn’t yet described them…I’ve already done Ibrance, tamoxifen, Docetaxol, Afinitor…..she did say awhile ago that I might be able to do Docetaxol again….anyway, any input? Thanks!

Need wisdom ! iBrance / Faslodex now moving to Afinitor/Exemestane and Faslodex. Was doing so well on iBrance/Faslodex. Sigh.

Yesterday my onc called on a telehealth call and said "We're moving you from iBrance/Faslodex" to Afinitor/Exemestane and Faslodex. " Her response is that we are bringing in a battleship.
