Concerned about the side effects of anastrozole

I've been on anastrozole for about 6 months now. I'm only taking 1,000 U of D3 oil. I will try your dosage. My doctor said EXERCISE, Exercise & Exercise! Of course I do not feel like exercise but have been trying and - it really does make me feel better! The YMCA has a program called Livestrong, a free 12 week program for cancer survivors. It is worth looking into if you have a Y nearby. I have arthritis in my knees, so it was hard to tell if the pain was from that or from the drug. I'm going to try to keep up the exercise & my best wishes for you. Yeah - 5 years seems like a long time (I'm 63) and 10 years seems like forever. I'm at least going to try for the 5 years. 🙂

Kathy - check with your oncologist first on D3 dosage. I went from 1,000 to 2,000 and then got the okay for the 5,000. Thanks for the info on the "Y"...I'll check into it. I was walking once to twice a week before I got hit with all that extra stuff. Am just now starting to get my bearings again. Have been working in my garden and plan to start walking up and down my street again when the groin pain eases off.
