Anastrozole - should I take?

Some of us have almost no side effects and others do have issues. My friend in her 80's has no side effects and I did pretty well to as long as I took a longish walk.

I wonder if you could just try the anastrozole. You might find out pretty quickly how it affects you.

A conversation with your doctor should be helpful (I hope). Your doctor will know more about your cancer, and your risk of recurrence.

That's great advice - try it.

what did you mean "as long as I took a longish walk"? I haven't started my Anastrozole yet but will be soon. Do you take it in the morning or at night? Do you walk right after? How long is longish? Does that help ease the side effects?
