Concerned about the side effects of anastrozole

Yes, generally speaking Tomoxifin has been mostly used for premenopausal women. I’m 65 and post menopausal. My doctor switched me to tomoxifin from Anastrozole last spring when I broke out in severe hives. She said hives can be a rare allergic reaction to Anastrozole. I don’t like either one... for me both have some nasty side effects. But I suppose the side effects are better than cancer!

I didn't have hives, but had severe itching all over my body even 5 weeks after stopping anastrozole. Haven't had any of that on the letrozole (Femara).
