Conflicted on taking medication

I am 72. I took Raloxifene and the only side effect I had was cold-sensitivity. That went away after a few months. I was taking it for my osteoporosis and DCIS. I had to quit it when my bone scans showed lower bone density.
Twelve years later, I was diagnosed with IDC. I had a mastectomy 4 weeks ago and will not need chemo. I am going to start anastrozole in a couple of days to prevent any further growth. I’ll be on that drug for 5 years.

Thank you for the information I know we all can react differently to these drugs
So glad you don’t need chemo
Wishing you the best
