Concerned about the side effects of anastrozole

I was on Anastrozole 18 months and stopped it because I felt like I was dying. My mammogram showed no growth but decided I would rather take the chance with breast cancer. I’ve been battling thyroid cancer since 2001 and have had 7 surgeries on my neck. Headed back to Houston to see if there’s another clinical trial for me since we just found out that the thyroid cancer has started growing again. I’ve had a trachea tube since 2017. In 2013 I had renal cancer in my right adrenal gland. Had that removed and found out I had breast cancer in 2022. So when the Anastrozole made me so sick I quit it. Will see what the Drs at MD Anderson have to say. I’ve been going there since 2004. I love to bake and the Anastrozole made me so tired that I couldn’t do it anymore. Been off for about 12 days and am back to cooking and baking.
