Hi Boobles sorry to hear about your diagnosis and good news about no further evidence of disease.  I thought anastrozole was for ER, PR + cancer not HER 2 + cancer.  I think quality of life is the most important thing.  I stopped after 5 years and should have been on it for 10 years.

I had Her2+ which is oestrogen fed hence why I was prescribed Anastrozole to reduce the oestrogen.  I really cannot cope with the side effects and hope I'm not risking getting a reoccurrence.

I had Her2+ which is oestrogen fed, so was prescribed anastrozole which prevents oestrogen being produced.  I can't cope with the side effects and hope I'm not risking a reoccurrence.
