Concerned about the side effects of anastrozole

The BCI test did not apply to my case as I had 7 positive lymph nodes with extra nodal extension of nodes. That is the reasoning for AI 10 years. Anastrozole does cause some insomnia and joint aches but I am managing them most of the time. What I think is most important for all of us is that we find a physician we feel is a good fit and can communicate and educate .what we need personally. I’m also taking verzenio-that’s another story-so difficult to tell which med causes which side effects. I admire every breast cancer warrior, while we all have/had this unwanted change in our lives we are so open to help our new sisters and their families.

The AI drugs causes cataracts to grow faster. Be aware of this.

I can’t express the tremendous feeling of support from this site. While I try to keep a brave face for my husband, friends and family-I can share my honest feelings here. I don’t look forward to taking anastrozole for 9 more years and verzenio is really trying my patience to put it mildly. But! I will plug along until something better comes along. In the mean time, on rough days I will ask for support and on good days I will offer support.
