Drug Holiday

After over 8 months of taking Anastrozole & suffering debilitating side effects my onc has just given me a 6 week ‘Drug Holiday’! Anybody else been there done that & got any idea of how long it takes to feel some relief?

    @dbelle, I would also like to know how you go. I'm on this crap drug also and wonder if a break would make me feel better.

    Let us know how you feel in a couple of weeks @dbelle I'm so over myself I don't think I'd be able to start taking that wretched drug again if I stopped and felt better for it.

    Hi @dbelle, I took a 6 week drug holiday and started to feel better very quickly. I never went back. That was 3 years ago. All the best.
