I take mine at night with my cholesterol med (genetically high from my mom). My PC told me to take the cholesterol drug at night because it works better when you’re at rest; and my medical oncologist told me to take the Anastrozole at night because if I was going to have joint issues, etc., at least I’d be asleep through several hours of it. Sounded like a plan, so that’s what I do.
I talked to my radiologist about the reduction (I’ll double check with my breast surgeon when I see him in a week and a half); but he said I should wait about a year after I’ve been through the cycles of blood work, mammograms, etc. plus he said that a good year of healing my body can’t hurt before subjecting it to another surgery.
I’ll definitely take my breast surgeon’s opinion about that above all others.
I have been blessed with excellent doctors along the way who encourage questions (I often show up with a notepad full - lol); but every one has been willing to do what all cancer patients need - to be heard. I love the team I’m associated with on this journey. They have always cared about my feelings and will spend all the time I need so that when I leave there, I’m more knowledgeable and therefore less anxious about what to expect. 🙂

You are very blessed indeed to have that team. I can’t argue with resting the body for sure. Lol
I hope you are willing to come back and visit this conversation again. It is refreshing to hear someone who is managing endocrine therapy well.
