Stopping the Arimidex, stopped the UTI’s and having my Oncologist laughing at me when I mentioned the constant UTI’s and made me feel like an idiot so I had to find out myself and stopped the Arimidex.
It was awful and trying to get someone to listen but no one ever would.

I had a small ischemic stroke while on my AI and my oncologist said that can happen. She wanted me to continue the AI I now have a new oncologist. I never went back to her.
My oncologist and I decided it was not worth the risk of another stroke. I stopped the AI after 2 and half years.
I feel so much better. But I wish I could have taken them for the added protection.
I have lost weight, no alcohol and I walk 10,000 daily. Hopefully this will help protect me.
I think they’re all immune by now to these complications with these drugs. I’m on anastrozole and tired all the time bone aches headaches every day. It’s something different. But no UTIs. I loved my hormones but now with zero left I get cranky a lot easier and don’t sleep well. Hugs to you.

Try non estrogen vaginal moisturizers and if that doesn’t help ask the oncologist if a VERY LOW estrogen vaginal cream might be ok for you. It generally stays local I’m told.
