Hi Kim,
It's Lisa from the Policy Team. I just wanted to jump in and send you a link to our Hormone Therapy booklet, which provides information about the different types of hormone therapies, including Arimidex and the other aromatase inhibitors. The booklet includes tips and strategies from other women about how they managed certain side effects.
It can also be really helpful to talk to your doctor about side effects you do experience, as there may be options to lessen these and there are also other hormone therapies which can potentially be tried.
If you want to order a free hard copy version of the booklet, you can order it on our website or call the Services Team on 1800 500 258.
Warm regards,
Lisa
