Arimidex
I have been reading through the blogs about Arimidex and found them very interesting. I have been on Arimidex for 6 months and up until 4 weeks ago, "side affects free" - until now that is.
I now have what appears to be the usual aches and pains in the legs and numbness in the hands, tiredness and headaches, so I guess I didn't escape at all I am just like all my other Arimidex sisters.
I will have to mention this to my oc next visit, but as so many others have said before at least I am here reading the experiences of others. It does help.

- Pollyanne58MemberRuth sometimes what we are dished up doesn't seem fair but they say we are never given more than we can deal with so that means that you are a very strong woman. My thoughts are with you and all the other lovely Ladies on this site. XxSign in to react to this post

Hi Finita,
Thanks for the encouragement. I know that God has been with me along the way. My Cousin has been praying for me and feels very peaceful when he does. I am finding it hard with my back ache and no energy but at least I am still able to socialise with my Friends. If I was housebound it would be harder to cope with. I am so fortunate to have good Friends and Family and the Friends on this site. It has just been a bit overwhelming with everything going on but I know that God will me the strength to carry me through like he always has. Love, Ruthxxx

My darling girl, what can I say, except that you are really pretty much full on with so mcuh and the double whammy really tops it . I really do wish you all the very best with your left kidney .and with your breasts surgery . As for having a colonoscopy done yearly, that is not so bad ...I had it done too and found to have diveticullum disease . Continue to feel positive among all the negatives and be strong . I wish you all the very best and may God give you all the necessary strength to see you throught it all .
my love to you

Sign in to react to this post Finita, I can not believe that they wouldn't do your gene test. I know the Government is tightening up on Health. I was sent there by the Hospital as I had just lost my Mum and other Family members. I was tested for Lynch Syndrome as I lost my Father and my Brother has Bowel cancer. I recieved the results on Wednesday and found out that I have this mutated gene as well as Braca 2. A double whammy. I was very upset to get the results because I thought I was fine. Now I have to have colonoscopies every 12 Months. On top of that I only have one Kidney functioning and there is a large cyst with hydronephrosis on my left Kidney. As well as seeing the Urologist and having tests, I am awaiting propalaptic surgery on my breasts. Thankfully, I have had my ovaries and uterus removed so that solves that problem. It has been very draining and I will be glad when it's all over but at least I am still here.
