Hi, i am starting this medication today and im so nervous, glad i found this site. Lots of useful information and sincere comments and experiences

I had my surgery bilateral lumpectomy, stage 1 on left side, didn't start radiation yet, however oncologist advised to start meds in meantime.
Wish me luck!

I too was worried about starting Anastrozole as I have a low tolerance for meds and typically have side effects.

Four months in and tolerating it very well. I may be experiencing some hair thinning… or I may be in the midst of telegen effluvium ( a temporary and short lived increase of otherwise normal hair shedding phase due to trauma or stress) following unilateral mastectomy in February.

So far so good. This medication has a proven treatment effect for hormone positive breast cancer so I feel grateful that I can tolerate it. Begin with a positive or neutral attitude and see how it goes for you. Good luck !
