Letrozole (Femara} vs Arimidex
I know both
arimidex
and Letrozole are similar but it seems there are more people on this site that are on Letrozole. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I’m 71 and my Onc recently described me as A symptomatic lol I used to feel like 90 but I think I’ve learned to live with
arimidex

Arimidex for self-directed BAT
Is there any point in taking
Arimidex
during low-testosterone periods, or is taking it just when testosterone is high sufficient? Of course one also follows E2, but for setting the initial course which approach is more sensible?

Surgery while taking Ibrance.
As I understand, it is not recommended that stage 4 patients have major surgery whil on Ibrance and
arimidex
. Has anyone here had this type of surgery and if so did it cause progression? Thank you so much -Madlyn

Glad to be part of an understanding group
Faslodex added to
Arimidex
and now Ibrance is replacing
Arimidex
. Sometimes I feel that instead of the side effects I'd rather live my life free of chemo. But pushing on. Thanks for your support

Need your opinion
After my recurrence, I had a mastectomy followed with Ibrance and
Arimidex
. Took both of year and a half. I tolerated it ok, but never felt myself. Joints affected, foggy brain, hot flashes, hair thinning etc.

Has anyone heard a preference for Arimidex or Tamoxifen for man boobs?
Anyone been on either one for a time -- is it working -- does it shrink them if they start growing? etc

I finished 10 rads, now onto
arimidex
and Ibrance. 2 weeks in and hate the side effects Currently, I'm on Depo lupron which I believe is causing tonic clonic seizures. hoping to get my ovaries removed before 6/16/20. This is me ready for my EEG (normal).

Very low ER positive MBC
I was on
arimidex
for three years before my MBC was diagnosed, and during that time the ER went down from 99 percent to 2 percent. I have been put on ibrance and faslodex. I know this treatment is designed for ER positive tumors, and my oncologist said it is used no matter what the positivity rate.

Told aromatase inhibitor is not working?
I have been on
Arimidex
for nearly two years now, and have recently been diagnosed with a new cancer in the other breast. I talked to the oncologist briefly over the phone (because of Corona my in office visit was cancelled) and he said to stop taking
Arimidex
because "it's not working".

Afinitor (everolimus) with Faslodex (fulvestrant) combo
Hi everyone, I will be starting the Everolimus and Faslodex combo this week after
Arimidex
combo with Ibrance stopped working after 20 months. I’ve seen a lot of posts mentioning the Everolimus in combo with Exemestane but not Everolimus in combo with Faslodex.

PC and family history connection?
Radiation, chemo, then 3 or 4 years
arimidex
. Today at almost 89 alive and (almost) kicking. Her sister had breast cancer when she was at over 80. Only meds, died at 92 from other reasons. My onco thinks that those facts could have something with me only if I had breast cancer, not PC.

Experience and advice on treatment options with and without Ibrance.
On
Arimidex
and Ibrance combo for 16 months. August scans showed no lesions. Great! Ibrance is woking! However scans from this week show "numerous new hypermetabolic bony lesions as well as increase uptake within the manubrium." Onc said on to new treatments.

Is Anyone Using Testosterone Therapy?
I take Avodart daily and 0.5 mg
Arimidex
3x per week. I am considering supplemental Testosterone Therapy (TTh). Dr. Morgentaler thinks I am a candidate for continuous TTh. Is anyone doing TTh?

I want to hear your story
I'm doing quite well on Ibrance and
Arimidex
. She is doing chemo and very weak. She has pain from bone mets. My concern is that she acts like she's giving up. She doesn't feel that she is going to make it and I want to encourage her that many are living years managing the disease.

BAT failed after 2 years
For body builders it is usually managed with
Arimidex
. As substitute I tried a number of over the counter aromatose inhibitors for 2-3 weeks each month but their effect on E2 was exactly zero. They were our old friends diindolymethane (DIM), indole 3 carbinol (I3C) as well as chrysin and luteolin.
