@emeli13 I agree with what Cedar said. I also have been on Anastrozole since 2019. Right Mastectomy, no radiation or chemo. Mid October I stopped the Anastrozole because of the fog (brain fog?) that was over my entire body, and hip, knee, both feet & back pain were taking a toll on the quality my life. I felt many years older than what I am. I’ve been walking 2-3 miles at least 4 times a week. After about a week , maybe 2, the fogginess went away. The other pains are taking longer. Still shuffling around with sore feet when getting out if bed, but recovery time to tolerable discomfort in feet is shorter. The hip/knee pain is improving. Saturday & Sunday were a very noticeable improvement. Pain still there but improving. It’s been 6 weeks off of med. I’m feeling apprehensive about next week appointment w/ oncologist. I hope he listens to me. Only second appointment with him, as I quit the first oncologist after 2 yrs.

I still can’t walk barefoot since tamoxifen and I stopped 7 weeks ago and Monday (yesterday) was first day I felt good. Bottom of feet still so painful
Now she wants to start me on Arimidex in January. I would love to tolerate any drug that could potentially save my life but at what cost ?
