Anastrozole
Hi all. I was diagnosed with invasive lobular carcinoma in October 2024. I had mastectomy of left breast in February with all clear margins. I am 75 years old and went to see the oncologist yesterday...
Hi Mazza1949
I was taking exemestane and my oncologist switched me to anastrozole a few weeks ago. She said the side effect profiles were similar. So far so good just the usual random hot flushes and some random joint pain occasionally but all in all not too bad. If you read what the side effects of panadol were you'd never take it! As others have said give it a go and if your side effects are too horrendous you can always stop it or switch to something else (on your oncologist advice of course!).
Best wishes for your treatment!
