I am sorry to hear about the awful time that you have been having with anastrozole. If you haven't been in touch with your breast care nurse then do talk it through with them. There may be an alternative hormone treatment that you can take if your side effects are continuing.
Breast Cancer Now have listed some of theside effects for Anastrozole on their website.
Everyone reacts to drugs in different ways and if it is interfering with your daily life it is important to let the health professionals involved in your care know.
You have posted in 'ask the nurses' but if you post on another thread or start your own you may find that you get more responses.
You may find it more helpful to ring and chat this through with one of the nurses on the helpline. Our number is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and we are here Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.
