Has anyone stopped anatrozole because of carpal tunnel symptoms??

I'm new to all of this. My oncologist suggested that I take ANASTROZOLE. I also have arthritis in my shoulders and back. The wintertime I'm in the most pain. I'm 80 years old and wondering if this medication gives me the quality of life I want. My oncologist said it was my choice. We are in control of our own bodies. I'm sure I will probably not take this pill. You have to decide if the next 6 months is work it to you. Good Days are ahead of you.

I was advised to take anastrozole after a lumpectomy and radiation. I told my med oncologist I did not want to take it. He said I should try. After much prayer, research, and consult with my gynecologist, I have decided not to take it. I am 76 with back issues, widowed, and living on my own. I feared the debilitating side effects as much or more than the return of the cancer. It means 16% rather than 8% probability. That is still 84% in my favor of no return. Quality of life at my age is important. Ultimately, I am in God’s hands.
My tumor was .7 cm, stage 1A, grade 3, Onco score 22, IDC
