Oh, rats......
I'm 5 months in, on anastrazole and zoladex, of what I'm told will be 10 years. Not loving the sound of any of your experiences- its already doing my head in (going hot and cold, skin prickling, nausea, insomnia, mood swings, anxiety, brain fog, carpal tunnel). I'm 51, and was working for myself in a high demands job in terms of cognition. I'm not in a position to retire, so somehow have to find a way through the side effects. Not much is helping, but I've been resisting asking for medications as I tend to react to many things, and am just worried about yet another layer of side effects.
First mammogram coming up next week, and first appointment with oncologist since Feb the week after. Hoping they'll try something... not sure I have 10 years of this in me.
