6 Weeks trial off Arimidex has finished as requested by Oncologist....
Hey All,
So 6 weeks finished off Arimidex and I wanted to let everyone know if there was or wasn't any difference at all. The first 2 weeks there wasn't anything noticeable, but as the weeks went on it was very noticeable. I had no struggle getting out of bed in the morning, I did NOT walk like I was on hot coals, I DID NOT have pain in my feet. I found I was walking in general so much better, my all over joint pain I had was not there. So safe to say, Arimidex was causing all my symptoms on the tail end of Chemo side effects. I don't see him til May in which he wants to discuss and then he will suggest to switch...I'm thinking really??? to what?? bit concerned...especially with my Optometrist appointment today showing I have a drastic deterioration in my right eye in 7 months and the question was asked am I on Tamoxifen, I said NO due to recurrence but I am on Arimidex.
