My symptoms were not extreme. I was mostly tired for 5 years and couldn't lose the weight put on during treatment. I took dexamethazone during chemo and that stimulated by appetite. I also ate a lot of cookies snd convenience foods. I couldn't taste mildly flavored, healthy foods like chicken and apples. I was too tired to prepare meals so I ate a lot of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and Chips Ahoy cookies, as I bing-watched Netflix. I was retired so I wasn't missing work or anything like that. After treatment, I did what I could to live life - even bought a house because I was shopping for one when I was diagnosed. I actually moved the day after my lumoectomy. I wore my wig to the closing. Soon after my elderly mother, who was in her last years of life, came to live with me. In ordinary circumstance this would have cramped my style but I did have much energy for a social life anyway. Three months after chemo, I stopped wearing my wig, Seven months later, while still caring for my mother, I decided to get out at least one night a week, so I took at class. I eventually lost the weight. I took Ambien for sleep. I got off it eventually, but restarted it during the pandemic, So in short, cope by living your life but realize you have to take it easy. Be patient. Figure out what you can do. I took up painting; I was introduced to it earlier through one of those Canvas and Cocktails businesses, which still exit online. Find something to enjoy. If you are taking anastrozole the really hard part is over. I have been clear for 8 years. I think the problems are not just Anastrozole. I think your body need a lot of time to recover from not only the cancer, but from the treatment and the stress fo the whole ordeal. Take care. You are healing and taking preventative steps at the same time.
