It seems you have to be on top off what tests you need to ask for, as Arimidex can also raise cholesterol levels. It isn't standard that oncologists order a full blood test, and also only a bone density scan once every two years. So glad that others here keep us informed of what we really need to ask the oncologists to keep on top of. But alas they don't like us to tell them their jobs. I am so over it all to be honest, and I go public so get a different oncologist each visit, and they are not all on the same page!
