Saw my Breast care doctor today. She was very helpful. Some of the stats she gave me on Arimidex -10% of women decide not to take any follow up medication - 20% of women change medications during the five years - didn't have % but apparently a lot of women see a decrease in bone density on Arimidex- some alternatives are Aromasin/Femara/Tamoxifen. She understood my objection to starting the spiral of taking medication, and then having to take another medication to counteract a side affect of the arimidex - also understood my concern about the side affects given my otherwise current good state of health and fitness - still not sure if I will take it - could try it for a few months and see how I feel I suppose. Hope everyone has had a good day today. RosG x
