most of these comments are 2-3 years old. I just finished my second round of 5 years on Anastrozole and am wondering about potential long term effects this will have done to my body. I finished taking them just 2 days ago so haven't yet experienced any side effects.

I appreciate your comments. I have felt fatigue on anastrazole and still 4 weeks after stopping (finished 5 years). Each year fatigue got a little worse and I too just do what I need to do. I am still able to strength training 3x a week and push myself but rest when I feel.like doing nothing much. I have been assured that the fatigue will get much better but to set realistic expectations because it can take months for your body to readjust. Patience is hard but I trust my oncologist!
