How long were you on Anastrozole? I have some of your issues. What did your oncologist say? He told me five years. Only finished one. Need to stop but scared.

I was on it for 9 mos until I couldn’t do it anymore she took me off 10/13 and I’m supposed to start Arimidex in January. She said that one has more side effects but maybe I will do better on it. In the meantime I’m taking 2 supplements , oncoplex and DIM these were suggested by an Integrative oncologist in conjunction with tamoxifen
I truly want to complete the five years with no side effects or at least manageable ones

I stopped after 6 months. I was almost bedridden at the end. I feel 100 percent better, and I walk, excersise, lost 42 pounds since June and feel better than I ever have. I had my oncologist prescribe me a pure prescription with no fillers, and it seemed easier on my system, but medical does not cover all of it. I still paid 60 a month, but it wass easier on my system. Might want to try that. I was only stage 2, but I know I did the right thing by walking away. 2 years clear.
