Hi @slapshotmary thanks for reaching out. This is all happening so fast for me. I agree the numbers for this drug are not the best so I wasn't too concerned if I couldn't take it because of the cost. But I'm being presented an opportunity to try it and my oncologist thinks it's a good idea so I'm willing to try. I have a lot of drug allergies and other health conditions that might impact my tolerance for the drug. But I won't know unless I try it. I was also really worried about anastrozole after reading about all the side effects but I have been so fortunate not to have anything major. I'm in my mid 70's so a lot of my decisions are different then they would be if I was younger. I'm also ER and PR positive which is new for this drug. I'll share what I learn from the Chemo nurse.
