I was thinking that if I took at least a month off, I could see just how much Arimidex is impacting my life. I feel about 50 years older in every respect. I just don't know, judging by what I've been reading here, if any of the other Estrogen blockers have fewer, less invasive side effects. Of course I won't choose to not take one, I just want to know if taking a month off to evaluate my reaction to Arimidex will put me at risk for a recurrence.

I started out with Tamoxifen. It caused liver problems. It has been over a year and a half since going off of it and my Liver counts are almost back to normal. That is when I started Anastrozole.
