AROMASIN  (EXEMESTANE):  This medication is used to treat certain types of breast cancer (such as hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer) in women after menopause. Exemestane is also used to help prevent the cancer from returning. Some breast cancers are made to grow faster by a natural hormone called estrogen. Exemestane decreases the amount of estrogen the body makes and helps to slow or reverse the growth of these breast cancers. Exemestane is usually not used in women of childbearing age.   FDA Approval Date: 1999-10-21 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  estrogen-sensitive breast cancer Severe joint pain, carpal tunnel syndrome in left arm, painful feet, weight gain, digestive problems, especially constipation. My doctor put me on Aromasin after I had complained about the unbearable side effects I was experiencing with Arimidex. However, after a couple of months of the new drug I felt even worse than I had felt when taking Arimidex. I ache all over all day and night and can no longer exercise or carry things. It is now 18 months since I first started taking exemestane medicine, and I have decided to give it up for a month before I next see my cancer specialist. He had mentioned to me about five months ago that, since I was one of those patients who had experienced extreme side effects, perhaps I could benefit by switching to Tamoxifen. I must say I'm not keen. I have discussed the question with my family doctor and pyschotherapist, and both agree that, in the end, only I take the decision to stop. So that's what I am going to do.
