Concerned about the side effects of anastrozole

Welcome @maryaronoff. You certainly have a unique set of considerations when deciding to take anastrozole or not. Your concerns and questions about combined side effects due to medications for breast cancer and multiple myeloma are good ones to ask your oncologist. I'll be interested in your decision after you weigh the pros and cons with your team. There are others here who, for their circumstances, chose not to take an AI, like @cindylb.

My name is Celia, I live in Switzerland and had a cancer removed from one breast last year. my first oncologist prescribed Anastrazole, the second oncologist prescribed Aroma tase and this third Professor Oncologist said that I should quit all these terrible new medecins and take 20mg of Tamoxifen a day for 5 years - a drug of more than 20 years on the market and is the best and least harmful. I have been taking this drug now for a year and feel tired and this worries me because I felt quite vigorous before taking this drug which deprives me of my Estrogen - a very peculiar way to keep cancer at bay! Is there a better solution?
Thanks in advance for your replies and a very Happy New Year to you all.
Celia
