July, 2004 to September, 2004 Sometimes when I swallow I start to cough. The esophagus was damaged. It will recover, but still hasn’t.

Hormone Therapy Description, Dates & Side Effects:

I’m on Exemestane. That’s not one of the options in the box above. It makes me tired. Not if I’m driving or walking or doing someing. If I’m listening to a lecture or sitting in church, sometimes the tiredness hits. Doctors say it’s one of the side effects.
