Covid 19 letters and first time user of anastrazole.

[Juliebythesea]

Hi,

I received a txt first 9 days ago, then a letter on the 26th march. I have been on taxol weekly chemo for over a yr now. Got a stable scan 3 weeks ago. So they have now stopped chemo and put me on anastrazole for a month because of corona virus. Not been told what happens after that or when next appt is. Do any of you ladies take daily anastrazole? As I started yesterday. Wondering if there are any side effects I should look out for? Stay safe.

good morning..I have not been on this site in quite some time but i always read it. my hopes and prayers for you that you have the same results as me.I have been on anastrozole for 6 years and NED for about 5 years 3 months. I had a single met to my iliac wing.The only side effects i had were some fatigue and some joint pain..very doable for me..i dont know if it matters but i have been using the same manufacturer zydus. One time early on i used a different manufacturer and i had night sweats and extreme fatigue.my Dr put in a request for it to only be filled with zydus..so i would say to try and do this if possible. stay healthy..and hope all goes well !!

I've been on it for over 6 years. Achy joints and hot flashes. Easily worked around. I found walking daily for the joints really takes care of that and I'm just used to the hot flashes.
