I have stopped anastrazole after five years. Very tired. Read this will resolve. Anyone else has had this. Waiting for hair to be less dry

@nanna1948 I know this wasn’t easy and isn’t easy yet, but congratulations on finishing your course of treatment.
My favorite line is “it isn’t always easy, but it is always worth it”.
Things might never be physically the same but for me the “tired” did ease up, gradually. One day I just realized I had more energy and was doing more things.
How long have you been finished?

I did this so you can easily connect with others who have completed their course of anastrazole.
Nanna, how long has it been since you finished your 5 years of AI treatment?

I had a Breast Cancer Index test at the 5 year point that told me there was no benefit to extending the meds. There are so many reasons for me to feel tired, including other meds, that I really don't know. Hope you feel better!
