We are all different so our reactions are not the same . After 3 1/2 months anastrozole destroyed my joints , bones and muscles . Stoped taking it 7 months ago and working at getting my body to function like it did before that horrible medicine. I have an 87 chance cancer won’t come back with
Out further treatment so why did they do this to me ? Money that’s why

I personally don't think AIs are being prescribed from a monetary gain standpoint. Rather, I believe it is because the risk of recurrence climbs over time. AIs keep the risk low during the first five years. This is a good subject to discuss with your oncologist.
