Take anastrozole for the rest or your life?

In going back in my mind I had the onco test. It showed the benefit from chemo would not be any greater than taking Anastrozole, so that was why I took it. However at no point were the hormone levels checked to see if it was working. After my decision to stop taking it the oncologist said, "given how slowly you metabolize meds, we could've done a lower dose", too late for this lab rat.

@whr that was same situation for me. My oncologist (new since other retired) suggested onco test. Numbers very low. Estrogen level never checked before during or after. 🤷‍♀️. We must advocate for ourselves. Stay strong
