I have been taking Anastrozole for 6 months now and I have lost almost 30% of my hair (also with thinning) & still losing.
I’m also having arthritic type pain in my fingers and overall fatigue.
I did not have any of these health issues before.
According to my specialist The bottom line is all AIs have more or less the same symptoms. It is toxic but we have no other choice… or do we?

I spoke with the Cancer Society last week told me there are no clinical trials for new AI inhibitors due to the fact that the series of drugs helps the majority of people. I suggest we all start to call them at 800-227-2345 and continue to push them to do something that isn’t as bad as anastrozole. I feel your pain. I have all the same issues. It’s changed my life dramatically, and I’ve only been on them since Thanksgiving. I have been here anyway, but I have been using keranique spray from CVS for a year and taking biotin and so far so good on the hair.🙏🏻

Boy I don't know when it will get to an on/off take/risk it stage. I appreciate the support!
