Concerned about the side effects of anastrozole

I had surgery, chemo, and radiation, and since I was staged at 3C it didn't seem an option not to take an aromatase inhibitor. I've been on anastrozole for a little over two years. I see the range of side effects others have and count myself lucky. I may have had a little hair loss, maybe a little weight gain, but I think that's all.

Hi Lee. I’m new to the forum here, and closely relate with your
diagnosis. I’m 59, IBC -3C, partial mastectomy, chemo and radiation. Been on Arimidex for 2 years. I’ve gained 15/20 pounds which is a lot for being 5.5 ft. In any case, I’ve tolerated the inconsistency of bone pain, troubles sleeping through the night, hair thinning pretty well. My Ocutype DX puts me in the higher reoccurrence.
