Side Effects of Anastrozole - bone loss

I have been on Tamoxifen after trying the 3 AI’s with lots of side effects. I had been on it for close to 3 months when I started having rib cage pain, back pain and arm pain. So I have been taken off Tamoxifen for awhile to see if it was what the tamoxifen causing it. It certainly isn’t as bad when it first started but it isn’t gone. I have had blood work and a chest X-ray and everything is fine. We are going for a nuclear bone scan now just to confirm. I have now had 2 shots of prolia. I just looked at the side effects from Prolia and guess what bone pain, arm muscle pain are a side effect of Prolia. So we are hooped no matter what😳

I ended up having to go off of all of them. I had radiation and 6 months of pills..... that was it. I now am following a starchivore diet and I feel so much better. I put my cancer in the hands of God, as suggested by my onco when I asked if there was anything else I could do. She told me no, just pray. I feel more confident in prayer than I do on the cancer system.... Good luck on your journey. My goal is to live as many years as those on the drug!
