Arimidex

Thanks Jo,

Sometimes I think I analyse & read too much, and you're right there is a lot of anti Arimidex on the internet.  It is interesting that you were also diagnosed with invasive ductal and had a lumpectomy in August.  I have just completed week four of radiation, two more to go but who's counting? LOL  Next week I see the oncologist and will begin Arimidex.  Hopefully I won't get side effects, but hey, I'd never forgive myself if I didn't take it.  I might have to begin a strict exercise regime if the weight does start to increase.  Anyway, we shall see.

I am sorry to hear that your medication is having such an effect on your lifestyle, maybe there is someone you can talk to also.  Your radiotherapy may also have an effect on your tiredness at some stage, although I haven't suffered with it. I haven't been a very nice person to live with throughout all of this.  I have been very irritable and my head is very vague, (more so than normal).  I don't have kids at home any more, but I'm sure my husband wished we did have, then he wouldn't be the only one on the receiving end of my moods.

I wish you well with everything and I hope we can talk again soon.
