Concerned about the side effects of anastrozole

jeannie53 - Letrozole is stronger than anastrozole and I took it for 7 weeks and then stopped. All the leg pain you mentioned was exactly why I went off. And the pain kept me up every night. I give you credit for staying on it 6 months. I will try Aromasin but I really want to go on Tamoxifen (even tho its not one of the newer fancy drugs), because it does not have the bone pain side effects.

@francine6829 - Hi Francine, My doctor explained that Tamoxifen is the drug that has been around the longest that is usually a drug that I would want. My concerns for myself about Tamoxifen are the warnings about blood clots and uterine cancer. I have a friend that did quite well on it with no effects. As for me when we get to that decision I just may opt out. As you had reactions on Letrozole I'm also leery of any of the drugs and will give them all a try and see how it goes. Good luck with Aromasin hopefully you will do better with it.
