Aromatase Inhibitors: Did you decide to go on them or not?

Posted by nanato6 @nanato6, Oct 12, 2018

Nanaloves: I’m about to start arimidex and just feel that the contraindications , bone issues etc. are overwhelming. I’m 70 years old, dodged a bullet I feel with zero stage DCIS but the follow up is pretty much no different then if it was more aggressive. I’ve just done 33 treatments of radiation and now they advise arimidex as a preventative. I’m not sure with the beginnings of arthritis and lower back. sensitivity already that I should take it. Anyone not take it and not have a recurrence within the 5 years.

@anjalima
I am 81 and I can not afford to lose any more bone--I am not taking the pill the more
I hear about it. Fosamax never ! affects the retina in your eyes, that is really not a good
pill. If you read about it, you will see. I already get shots in my eyes every 5 weeks. your damned
if you do and damned if you don't. I think I have to gamble. my spine and bones are bad, my
eyes are bad, I just want quality of life, I don't want to feel sick or have more problems.
I have the same feelings as you. The doctor said I have a 10% of it coming back. this one took
9 years to the day. they both are estrogen related.

In Japan, they prescribe a prescription-strength use of Vitamins: K2 MK4 and K2 MK7, A & D. Google and you will see the amounts.
