Anastrozole
hi, live been on Anastrozole since May 2017. I had hormone receptive BC, chemo, double mastectomy and oopherectomy (also BRACA2 ). I've been having a lot of side effects which I put down to Anastroz...
@Lallaby its about 5%, whilst that doesn't seem much, trust me after having a recurrence even after being on tamoxifen for 4yrs, I wasnt going to argue with a new med Arimidex or Aromasin. So it comes back to how much an individual is prepared to do to stop a recurrence. Im massively into alternate therapies BUT nothing replaces medicine, they are used in conjunction together, thats the point and unfortunately most people miss the point.
How you feel about hormone therapy is how I felt about chemo...should I or shouldn't I, was quite the quandary for me. My Oncologist couldnt predict either way. All of its a gamble you'll never know what works or doesn't. So I realized it came back to feeling comfortable that you had done all you possibly could to make sure that it didn't come back.
