Timing of HRT, anastrozole - taking day or night?

@karendb - I decided to take my AI at night. My thinking was if I was going to have side effects I’d be asleep. Solid reasoning? Who knows? It’ll be interesting to see what others have done. All the best to you 😊

Buckimom, how long have you been taking your AI?
I'm doing the same by taking the Anastrozole at night. I am also doing something I haven't talked to my oncologis about because she is out of the office for a few months and I son't want to talk to just any oncologist. I am taking it every other day. When I first started taking it I had Itchy hives on my face. Mostly a swelling spot under my eyes. Since taking it every other day the spot/hives have disappeared. This also happens when I eat things I am sensitive to--mostly tomatoes. I've been taking this for about 2 months. Occasionally I have hot flashes but nothing I can't live with. So far I'm doing well. Just a note, I have a hard time with medications. It seems like if I take 1/2 of most I do better and have no side effects. I see my oncologist in 2 weeks and i will try to get back about what she has to say about every other day. Hugs

That's what I was thinking - I haven't started the pills yet as I'm a bit afraid of all the side effects that everyone has mentioned, but my hubby told me to just try it and see how it goes. Even the oncologist says we can trade for another one if this fails.
