I really don't have a secret. Just made up my mind that Anastrozole was necessary to, hopefully, keep me from breast cancer for a third time. And I trust my oncologist completely. We are "working" on me together. I talk, she listens and then WE decide. I know that cancer is a horrible disease that I have no control over so I make myself think positive about most things, including what I can do in the present and if something would happen to me down the road, I know that I did my very very best. That's how Ive left it and my faith gets me thru any negative thoughts. I'm a super happy girl anyway, and happiness overpowers sadness. Plus, it's much healthier! I do lots of energy so I keep busy. Remember, if Anastrozole doesn't work for you, there are other AIs to try. My hair never got thin or fell out. I consider myself happy and so blessed. At my age, I want to have fun and live a great rest of my life and this cancer is just a rut in the road. You gals take charge of yourself and your bodies. I love you all!! Hugs
