Anastrozole

[1916]

Evening Everyone

I have been on Anastozole one per day for about seven wks, the last wke by the afternoon I feel completely awful so tired and a bit nauseated.

I wonderd if any of you ladies have had the same, I didn't feel to bad on chemo and at least then I knew what it was.

Hope someone maybe able to help .

Many thanks

I just started it 16 days ago. I have bad nausea and vomiting and have broken out in hives which are very itchy.

Hi Thankyou for replying, that explains why I feel nauseous and tired when I get to the afternoon . I have my scan tomorrow after finnishing chemo in august, that's 3rd line treatment in two years. I've been put on these as a stop gap 5 percent chance they will make a difference .

Best wishes

I didn't have much trouble while taking Anastrozole. But I think I've read on here of people taking it in the evening instead of the morning to try to ease the tiredness. Could it be worth looking into? Di

Hi Ann

Just to let you know that I was prescribed AnastrOzole after mastectomy and Radiotherapy for breast cancer which was diagnosed between recurrences of PPC in 2018.

I started in May 2018 and had to take a break from Jan to Jun of this year while on 3rd line chemo for recurrence of my PPC. I'm now back on them. My fatigue hasn't got any worse since taking them. I certainly never felt nauseous but then I never have through all my chemo treatments either. My problem is my appetite increased and I have gained extra weight which I could do without !

The other annoying side effect is osteoarthritis in the index finger of my right hand and aches in my thumbs. I take Calci ahem

Sorry Ann

Went too soon and I still haven't learnt how to edit ! I meant Calcichew !

I don't mind taking them if it also helps to stave off my PPC.

The very best of luck to you
