I saw my oncologist last week and have decided to stay on anastrozole because I am high risk. After my recent break I switched to taking it at bedtime instead of mornings. I only feel marginally better off the drug. That helps with the nausea.
It may help if you review your risk of recurrence vs any actual harm the side effects may cause. You’re an individual not a statistic.
It’s a shame that no studies follow up with patients about real life side effects.
I worked on editing drug inserts for a medical publisher and am very familiar with the long lists of side effects for drugs. Doctors only talk about the most common ones. And they dismiss everything else. If a side effect is lower on the list, in the single digits, doctors decide it’s too rare for anyone to experience. That attitude is just lazy.
