I've just been prescribed Arimidex. I start taking it in 3 or 4 weeks when I'm over the radiation. If I don't like it I'll stop taking it. Quality of life is important to me. I'll try other things if they're available. @melclarity As far as I'm concerned chemo has fucked me forever. My nervous system is not the same. My reflexes are gone and my body feels like jelly.
My girlfriend who came to stay with me last weekend had been on Tamoxifen for 2 years and said her only side effect was some weight gain. I'm only 41 kilos atm so I'm hoping the Arimidex will puff me up.
@Annski What a great answer. I would like to say that you took the words right out of my mouth, so much sense did you make. Many of my friends have stopped the hormone treatment. Many have lung cancer and my best friend had a brain aneurysm 4 weeks ago. A dear friend died of esophageal cancer during treatment 3 weeks ago from a stroke.
I might get run over by a car after 5 years of aging on Arimidex with an atrophied vagina and wonder was it all worth it?
