Anastrozole

I have had quite a few of the side effects -  nose bleeds (like a damn tap, some short some long time running), dizziness, fatigue, chronic headaches (days at a time), lack of concentration, fuzzy memory, dry itchy skin and don’t get me started on the hot flushes at the drop of a hat but constipation isn’t one of them. 😱

I had a bone density scan before I started on Anastrozole and it was a really good score apparently so that’s one plus for me. 😁

I agree with you about feeling like you have been dropped like a hot cake after the last radiotherapy treatment, I felt so lost and lonely after my last treatment. I don’t want to call the BC nurse either as they are a precious commodity. 

It’s just my daughter and myself and we both work full time and we have no family support. 

I counteract my fuzzy memory by carrying a notepad with me and writing everything down. 

I love reading so I visit op shops on the weekends and check out what books that they have on offer. Mind you concentrating on the words are a little hard at the moment so I am collecting a good library full 📚. 

I know it will get better, hang in there 🙃
