Gosh, I would really love to steer you towards another discussion where there are hundreds of comments or hundreds of pages of comments. In reviewing a few of those conversations, I decided against it because there is so much negativity. Unfortunately the people who manage their side effects well, or have very few or no side effects are hardly ever the people posting. There is also many more people taking this drug than you will ever see in a forum.
Remember this is a cancer fighting drug, and you and your doctor should make this decision based on what is best for YOU.
I took it for 10 years, I managed my side effects, walking for joint stiffness, and fans for the hot flashes. I do try to have a sense of humor about it 🥵🥵. I will never have to look back and say I didn’t do everything I could to stop this cancer.
I hope you will be willing to try it, if you and your doctor decide it is best. If you have been on HRT, you will likely feel a few menopause related effects.
About those discussions I mentioned, if you want to read them, just scroll up and click on the little “< breast cancer” top left and use the search for Anastrazole.
