Aromasin, Femara, Arimidex

Yes, I just finished last of chemo yesterday. 1TAC - 3A/C & 10 weekly Taxols. Stage lll b/c 5 cm tumor. In a few weeks I will start rads. My Onc wanted me to pick a AL (?) to take for a period of 5 + years after my rads. He listed Aromasin, Femara & Arimidex. I am very sensitive person. Have a hard time with pain, etc...After researching some, I chose Aromasin (it seemed slightly less harsh.) Oh, I am post-menopausal. Anyway, I forgot to ask my onc if any of these drugs are harder on your liver than others. I was diagnosed some years ago with Hep. C (not active.) Unknown how I contracted it. But anyway, I would like it to stay non-active. I read that  Aromasin might be hard on your liver. Is this true for all of them - or should I consider another??? Should I have any liver tests taken to see where that (Hep C) is at? My Onc is so busy, I barely get to ask 1 o r 2 things and he's off running. Thanks for any information you might be able to give.

Dear debisongbird:  This is not a question for the internet.  When prescribing any medication, your doctor should take into consideration your health history.  If he is not aware of your situation, it should be brought to his attention.  He should be discussing pros and cons of medications so that you can make an informed decision if you are to choose.
