@wr61 Not right now, I took it from mid November until Feb 20 and did very well, so I thought. After my BPPV, I was in the hospital for a few days and they told me to not take it there, but I could resume when I got home. My oncologist told me that anastrozole doesn’t cause dizziness! It’s a warning on the label! Now I don’t trust her. For now I’m not going to take it, I have an appointment on April 10 with an ENT doctor and I’ll ask him about it. It reduces my chance of a recurrence from about 7% to 2-3%, but has no effect on survival since I’m already 70 and likely to die from many other things in the next 10 years. I’m really on the fence, I like taking it, but never want to go through that again. I had severe balance issues for weeks, and wasn’t able to get physical therapy until I was already better on my own. There is such a shortage of doctors, nurses, physical therapists now. I see neurologist on April 20 and folk have told me that it usually takes a year for a new patient!
