I had Stage 1a breast cancer in 2020 and I had a total hysterectomy in 2022. I have been on Anastrozole since 2020. Overall I have done fine on Anastrozole, however, I now have osteopenia which is a known side effect of AIs. So bone health can be an issue and I will likely end up with osteoporosis by the time I am off of them.

I had breast cancer 2021, Chemo, Radiation. On Anastrozole since 2023, joint pain, hot flashes. Had a total hysterectomy in March 2026, so even less estrogen. Oncologist put me on Veozah, just slightly helps hot flashes, I'm always looking for help.

I’m have been on Anastrozole since 2023. It’s been hard but I am happy to read that you have made it through six years. It’s encouraging.
I have osteoporosis and am struggling with Fosamax. Do you take something to prevent osteoporosis? I was going to check with my doctor about trying a different medication or approach to treating the osteoporosis.
