Hi @raebaby ! After 2 years of taking Anastrozole, I’m having side effects that are affecting my life and enjoyment. It started w/ my groin & hip. I thought it was my shoes. Got new shoes. Didn’t get better. Went to physical therapy & that helped some. (Thinking stretching & movement). Then my back started acting up worse than normal. Muscle spasms since end of August & a month ago my feet are so sore I walk like I’m crippled. I was going to say an old lady, but I am only 68 & older ladies & men probably walk better than me. Getting in and out of car is difficult. After I’m up snd walking a bit, it gets better. I do walk 2+ miles a day. Some days I miss. Thank God I can walk, as it really helps me physically AND mentally. All this to say that I’m finally admitting that this Anastrozole is affecting me! 💡.
I had mastectomy 2 years ago. No rad & no chemo. It was very small, but 15 yrs ago I had DCIS in left breast and w/ that history , surgery was better choice. What surgery did you have. I ask as I’m thinking of stopping Anastrozole for my Quality of life in the here & now. Raebaby, thank you for your comment.
