Maybe all of he above. Chemo and or radiation take a lot out of your body. This includes ways that you can’t see, so I would say be gentle with yourself about this. I did have the wicked hot flashes and some achiness on tamoxifen, but I could tolerate it. I walked out most of the achiness from arimidex (anastrazole), again there was some side effects but doable.

Thank you ! I do need to be gentle with myself ! Thanks for the reminder and support. Hopefully Arimidex will be tolerable
By the way , did arimidex cause weight gain for you ? Tamoxifen did for me 8 lbs and stomach was very bloated and painful
