Did your cognitive function return to normal? With my first DCIS 16 yrs ago,I took Tamoxifen for 2 yrs and the word retrieval/fluency issues and short term memory issues remain.
I've been on Anastrozole for 4 mo's and brain fog is beginning so I am very scared.
When you stopped the Anastrozole did your memory improve??

I think it improved, but my husband says it’s not really any better. Maybe I’ve just gotten used to it… I believe taking these drugs to lower our estrogen to prevent recurrence of breast cancer, is just like going through menopause all over again with the same symptoms…except for many of us we’ve already been through menopause…! And unfortunately for you, this just must be awful to take drugs again! Lowering our estrogen even farther following breast cancer is truly a heinous treatment! Sending much love your way! I’m so sorry you might need to do it again. 💕
