Re: How long the side effects can last?
Hi Fiona, thank you for mentioning about taking your Al and side effects of taking your Al thoroughly. You are right; the risk of recurrence vs the side effects are not easy to weigh up. In my case it's really very confusing. The risk of recurrence is very low, and my doctor has suggested I can stop taking Al, but the issue is that when I had stop taking it, unfortunately, the side effects were still with me. So, I have started taking it again. Life is not that easy. "Sending you lots of hugs & love".120Views1like0CommentsRe: How long the side effects can last?
Hi@Tri, I discontinued Anastrozole after seven years on my oncologist's advice, who indicated that extending the treatment to ten years wouldn't alter the recurrence risk for my type of cancer. Since stopping, I've noticed no change in the side effects from Anastrozole. I'm considering resuming it to minimize the chance of recurrence.115Views0likes0CommentsPlease suggest me a breast oncologist in Sydney
Dear friends, it's now seven years I had breast cancer. Since then, on hormone therapy treatment. I am having ongoing checkup with my breast surgeon and my breast oncologist, but my breast oncologist doesn't communicate well regarding my treatment. I believe a in a good and communicative well doctor after visiting them a patient should be satisfied. Please any one can suggest me a breast oncologist in Sydney. I would be very grateful.204Views0likes8CommentsRe: Anastrozole and vertigo
@noosa_blue150 thanks so much for the details. Yes, I know regarding BPPV but my vertigo cause was different. It was due to cold sore( herpes) virus in my mouth which caused inflammation to a nerve of my ear which is connected to brain. That nerve was giving wrong signals and causing vertigo. Take care.139Views0likes0Comments
