@jayne1959 Thank you for sharing. My experience w/ Anastrozole is similar. I stopped taking after having taken it for 2 1/2 years When I stopped taking due to couldn’t hardly get in and out of the car, due to hip and joints pain and overall foggy & depressed feeling. My oncologist also told me “it doesn’t have anything to do with medication “. One oncologist said they ‘take it for granted ‘ that’s it was working. He is no longer my oncologist.
It took about 6-8 months for me to feel like my self again. I have been off Anastrozole for 10 months now snd feel wonderful. I’m getting checked with alternating mammograms & MRIs every 6 months. We must be proactive in our health and do what is right for us & finding a doctor that works with us as a team. Blessings & I’m happy you are doing better.

I’m glad I’m not alone. After my 5 years is up in 2024 and if my cancer returns, I will find another oncologist.
Don’t make me out to be an idiot. I had to find out for myself because he wouldn’t listen.
I hope you are doing well and I wish you a happy and healthy life.
