Experiences with

Anastrozole

He said that my cancer was mildly receptacle to oestrogen so has prescribed me Anastrozole to help bring my marker down more but he said sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't and if I get any side effects to not bother getting a repeat prescription.

I felt stupid to have wasted time and energy exploring what I feel is some of the side effects of Ibrance, Anastrozole and zometa. What should I have done?

I started with Anastrozole to Exemestane. In two years... thanks for any feed back.

I've been on anastrozole, ibrance, xgeva and zoladex since June 2020. First 3 months were fine - apart from all the anxiety around being diagnosed de novo MBC. Since mid-November I've been feeling faint. Thus feeling seems to be getting worse with time.

After 6 months of palbociclib ibrance and anastrozole, breast tumor is at 17mm. Had a pet end of September svmax on breast were still at 7 and at 3 on bone mets. My kids are 11 and 13 years old . I'm so scared. How will they managed? I must say I still feel good physically, but for how long ?

I have a past history of breast cancer and am taking anastrozole. I decided to embark on Couch to 5k as feeling very unfit, slightly overweight and lethargic, although I try to walk regularly. I did the first session two days ago which I found really hard.

I am doing very well at the moment on Ibrance and Anastrozole ( for 21 months) and just try to get on with life as much as I can. I can potter around my house and garden, playing with my dogs, baking bread (a new COVID skill) walking for miles in the sun and enjoying life.

It is being tested against traditional meds such as Fulvestrant, Anastrozole, Letrozole, Exemestane and Tamoxifen--but my wife was "randomized" into the SAR439859 so has already had a couple days of the pills--so far, so good as far as side effects.

Currently in the IBrance/letrozole duo ( but have recently changed off letrozole to anastrozole with massive improvements for pain in my hands and forearms. Was wanting to hear from anyone with bone and liver Mets to hear how they are travelling. It is great to be part of such a supportive group.

After having a lumpectomy, I was prescribed Anastrozole in January 2019 but had some unpleasant side effects (I thought). Also I had a Dexa scan which showed the beginnings of osteoporosis.

So she wants to change me over to Anastrozole for a few months to see how we go. Anyone else had any of these problems? Chris.❤️

I have been taking anastrozole (aromatase inhibitor) for adjuvant therapy for IDC breast cancer for 6 of the recommended 7 years-which causes osteoporosis

I am taking Anastrozole (Hormone therapy for early breast cancer that is bad for bones as it lessens oestrogen). Have been diagnosed after bone scan as osteopenic. Told I should take Prolia or Zometa a bisphosphonate.

When first diagnosed, my doctor put me on anastrozole but it made me extremely exhausted, violent hot flashes and made my feet hurt. I’ve been on letrozole for over a week now and so far so good. If this one continues to do well I will be going on Ibrance next week.

Did anyone take Melatonin in place of Anastrozole?

My medication is similar to a lot of you, it’s Ibrance & Anastrozole. I started in September 2019. I will be positive, I have a lot of support and for that I am thankful.

Her oncologist took her off of Anastrozole, which she had been taking for several years with little to no issue.

Wondering if the fluctuations in my lfts is due to overtreated hypothyroid with levo or starting anastrazole for breast cancer. Worried it may be liver metastases from the BC.

Hello everyone, I had a bone scan last week and it revealed osteopenia 😱😨🤯 I’m not surprised as I feel it. My poor bones have deteriorated since I started on Anastrazole and now I’m on Exemastene. I’m 42 so I have to be on hormone therapy for 10 years and I don’t know if my bones will hold up. What

I started IBrance and Anastrozole in November. The first month I was on 125 mg of IBrance. I felt great, but neutrophils were too low to finish cycle. I completed 2 cycles of 100mg. In the second month, I had low neutrophils again.
