The Oncolist said I had a 20% chance of not getting cancer again. Or a 4% if I didn’t continue on the drug. I think it offended her I was questioning this drug. Which made me think I needed a different doctor. I wasn’t challenging her I wanted a discussion , I was asking questions about it. I’m thinking to ask for a different inhibitor and give her another shot. And see what happens. Our doctors need to be part of a team on ridding us of cancer not the only word in the discussion, not much of a discussion. And yes we always need more information!

Yes, I agree, we really need to be able to communicate with our doctors. Check back in whenever you feel like sharing what you decide to do.

I've been on anastrozole since Oct 20th and have had no side effects. I'll be on it for up to 5 years. Depends how my check ups go.
