Only been two years but the doctors say it effects more long term 5 to 15 years increase recurrance if I don’t take anti-estrogen. Scary - but I know I can’t take them. Some have no issues but my choice.

Hi, I was in a similar situation, after lumpectomy and radiotherapy I was offered Anatrazole, tried for months and truly was a basket case, couldn't even put a sentence together, I was 64 at the time. Stopped the meds, must say my support team in Ireland were terrible, made me feel bad about refusing. Had to really stand firm and say quality of life was more important to me. I'm almost 4yrs now without drugs and feeling great. All mammogram results are clear. Everyone is different but I happy..clean diet and exercise. Diet little sugary foods, lots of veg and low sugar fruits. Very little fatty foods and virtually no processed food. Hope this is of some support to anyone finding the meds made the ill or in my case suicidal. Best of luck 👍
