Thank you @auntieoakley for this information. Yes, would consider myself active, always have been my whole life. I'm 55 now. I run about 10 miles a week average, in the summer now swim almost daily, mix in some basic weight moves and in general don't sit down for very long. I just naturally prefer to keep moving, so for that I am thankful. Despite all that I am about 15 lbs. overweight all gained during chemo treatments. I am 6 years past all that now. After the surgery, chemo and radiation I was put on Tamoxifen but couldn't handle the side effects after a year. At that point the plan was Anastrozole but I opted out as just reading the side effects sounded like it wouldn't be much different. Lately been feeling actually quite good, energetic and clear headed. I moved and found new providers which caused me to rethink the hormone therapy decision. I am told with 4 years of Anastrozole to get me to the 10 year mark I can halve my reoccurrence margin from 8% to 4% probability. If I can tolerate the 4 years it likely is worth it, but now all the memories of how terrible I felt that 1 year on Tamoxifen have me concerned. I will monitor the situation and if I am finding myself with low energy, aches, pains, brain fog, thinning hair, etc. I am sure I will reevaluate once again. The quality of life vs number of years certainly is serious and I don't know if any of the pharmaceuticals or anyone else is working on addressing this but it certainly would go a long way for many women. For now I am taking a magnesium/calcium/zinc with every meal and making sure not to skip the other daily's especially the D. Basically trying to counteract any accelerated bone mineral loss. I did have a baseline Dexa right after chemo and 2 since then including the last a month ago. They show healthy bones for my age. I had not heard about stomach trouble or nausea until your reply, so yay 2 more ;things to watch out for, ha, ha.. thanks again for responding and cheers to you at 17 years and many more to you.
