Concerned about the side effects of anastrozole

My oncologist blames any issue that I might have, which have all been minor, on Verzenio and not so much Anastrozole. So who knows??????? I'm just thankful no side effects to speak of. Well, poo poo, you and I need to "force feed" ourselves. Lol. Actually, sometimes I do. I scour the computer for good food, mainly protein. I keep the Boost 530 calorie drinks on hand and drink as I need to. The drawback, they have some sugar. They taste really yummy. I like Vanilla. Also, I keep Premier Protein on hand to up my protein levels (21 grams and 1 gram sugar) and my protein is great on lab tests. I think my weight issue is because I no longer eat sweet foods, e.g., ice cream, pastries, etc. because cancer loves sugar, so my intake of sugar products is almost nil. Therefore, my weight loss. But I feel wonderful. Treadmill, walk at least 6,000 steps a day, rubber bands for stretching, etc. I think we're ok. Keep eating healthy and you should do OK. Blessings always.
