So my 4 weeks is up & I've thoroughly enjoyed a diminishing level of pain, tho my trigger finger & associated pain, continued. Most of the time, tho, I just wasn't 'aware' of being in pain 24/7 anymore!
However, the holiday is over now & I am starting on Anastrozole/Arimidex tonight. Has anyone taken Ariana before (another generic brand?) Initially the chemist was going to give me that brand .... but I preferred to go with the 'known one!
My Onc (I think) will be surprised if I don't get side effects almost within a week!! She has said that if it becomes too uncomfortable, to let her know & we can stop it, then try Tamoxifen (last gasp, as I'll have run out of options!!)
My Rad Onc last week said that, given just the 1% 'less chance of recurrence' - it could be worth coming off the tablets altogether, given the low quality of life, on them! I'll see how I go with these tabs ..... make the decision if/when it happens.
What is your story with Anastrozole/Arimidex?
