I have been on Anastrozole for 8 years following treatment for breast cancer at the age of 58. I had a lumpectomy followed by chemo, radiotherapy, 2 lots of Zomeeta (was supposed to have 6) and a year of Herceptin injections. Over the years I have had a lot of side effects and suppose I rather got used to them. About two years ago I passed out whilst sitting down and since then have been experiencing « bad turns » more frequently. I have trouble sleeping and almost dread going to bed as I often have sleepless nights for no reason. Thus I often feel tired and everything is too much of an effort. My weight is also a big problem - I am at my biggest than ever.
I rather feel that I don’t have the quality of life that I should and after looking into Anastrozole, I made the decision to stop taking it and Omeprazole - I was due to take it for 10 years in total. Part of me is scared, and I don’t feel too good as I am withdrawing, but felt I couldnt go on as I was.
I was wondering if anyone else has been in the same position.
