Anyone take Anastrozole every other day?

Anastrozole gave me crippled fingers on top of joint pains. My oncologist switched me to exemestane and it’s a whole lot better. I experience petechiea from the drug, so I decided to take a break once or twice a week. My oncologist probably wouldn’t approve that, but I found this research that reinforces my decision.

@myoga I have finally given up. I've never felt so bad and almost bedridden in my whole life. 2 days before Christmas I stopped anastrozole. It is now December 31 and I'm finally starting to feel a little bit better. I can't live like that I'd rather be dead so that's I guess what I've chosen. No more drugs. I know I'm facing almost certain death but I'm 80 years old and I've lived a full life. Why am I hanging on to it for. My faith is strong and what will be will be.
