After six months on anastrazole, I had awful joint pain. I had also gained weight, had brain fog and hot flashes. The oncologist told me that any other hormone suppressant med would give me the same side effects. So he said I could just quit and I felt fine about it. My statistical odds of having a recurrence didn't change very much, and my blood work has been fine. I'm glad he didn't switch me to another medication.
I am only 8 days off Anastrozole and feel SO GOOD! Have you looked at raloxifene? It looks like blood clots are the main concern. How do you decide?!
