When I discussed this with my oncologist in July, reducing the dosage of Arimidex (Anastrozole), she said it had only been approved for Tamoxifen which I have no interest in taking. At this time I am not taking anything due to severe joint pain, bone loss, and other side effects.

This article was just a few days ago, but if you are comfortable with the choice of not taking endocrine therapy then that is good, if you are not, then that is not so good. It is an individual cost versus benefit decision. Every person is different and every cancer is different. Truth is no one can predict for sure how it will act or not moving forward. Are you comfortable with this choice or feeling like there should be a better answer?
