Hi@noosa_blue150,
Your suggestion sounds to me very reasonable. you are right with Als medicine the only bothering side effect is osteoporosis which hopefully could be managed by bone strengthening injections instead of the risk of getting uterine cancer. It is almost 4 and half years I have been on Arimidex and the other side effects I have like nausea,headaches are manageable so far as it is much reduced. Luckily I don't have any joint pains.
Unfortunately my oncologist doesn't give me much time during her yearly consultation. On her yearly appointment most of the time first I have to consult with her registrar and then only for couple of minutes with her, that was the reason I was confused for taking decision for my treatment.
I'm wondering that how come you have been put on Zometa infusions every 6 months because I have been advised to take once a year?
