Taking a Lower Dose of Tamoxifen?

@sequoia - I understand your misery. 29 years ago I had a mastectomy and chemo. My oncologist wanted me to take Tamoxifen after chemo.
Within a few months I had to stop. It caused problems with my bile flow- no gallbladder then- and had a lot of pain.
Anastrozole could cause problems like you have.
I wonder if you have had a bone density scan yet? We are also at an age when we are prone to get osteoporosis.

@astaingegerdm thank you for your comment. I had a bone density in May 2021 and it showed osteoporosis. I had already been on Anastrozole for about 1 1/2 years and no on e mentioned osteoporosis treatment. I had my first Zometa infusion in September of this year. I’m wondering how long it will be if im off of Anastrozole that some of this side effects will subside. Im 68. Thank you again.
Hope you are doing well.
