Put on
Arimidex
and ibrance, gone in 6 months. Great, and I'm assuming
Arimidex
for 5-10 yes. Wrong! Because they have learned that there "could be" a micro cancer cell somewhere I need to be on chemo and hormone pill for the rest of my life! I'm 61! What is the chemo going to do to me?

I’ve not seen anyone talk about being on the estrogen blocker Anastrozole/
Arimidex
. Does anyone take it? I wish there were a list of abbreviations because I’m not understanding most of them. I’m fairly new so I guess I’ll learn.

Had 6 weeks radiation and just started 1 mg
arimidex
Feb. 23. I take the drug in the morning, but the past 2 nights I haven't slept very much at all. Hoping this will pass. Curious about what others taking this medication are experiencing.....thank you for letting me join your group.

I know I have asked but really like to know if anyone has had a lot of fluid retention from ibrance or
Arimidex
? I’m curious to see from which one causes it and what they may replace it with.

Anastrozole
Hi everyone, I met with my doctor following my last scan and as expected the cancer hasn’t gone BUT is classified as stable So because I have had 30 cycles of chemo in 24 mths they want me to have a break so I am being given Anastrozole (
Arimidex
) which they hope will keep the cancer stable.

Platelet and fluid retention problem
I’m on Ibrance and
Arimidex
. My platelets drop so low I have gone from 125mg to 100mg now going to try 75mg. I just got out of hospital because of pneumonia and I had so much fluid retention I felt like I was being crushed. In 5 days I have gotten 5 gallon of fluid out with lasix.

So far, so good!
After my surgery and following chemo I was put on
Arimidex
because my tumor tested estrogen positive. I’ve had very few side effects from it. I just had my first 3 month check up and my cancer marker is 11. That made me mighty happy to hear that! Hopefully things will continue like that! Sara

Estradiol & PCa.
(All the more reason to consider
Arimidex
when serum E2 is >20 pg/mL.) The fact that serum levels differed from cellular levels is not surprising.

Experience with elevated CEA tumor marker
I'm currently on an AI (generic
Arimidex
) and doing well. My new oncologist order 3 tumor markers (CA 125, 15-3 and a CEA). All were within normal limits, but my CEA was slightly elevated on 2 different times. She wants it repeated next month (November 2018).

ARIMIDEX

Arimidex
causes bad side effects in some women so I presumed I was one of these women. Yesterday morning I went to my appointment worried but also convinced that the
Arimidex
side effects would be the answer and I had already researched Glucosamine as a remedy .

Very ugly complaining: I AM NOT FAT.
I am devastated enough about how awful
Arimidex
makes me feel (while at the same time grateful that I am not having chemo yet). Oh yeah, and I don't know how long I am going to live. If you could keep your ugly label away from me, I would like to enjoy these next few years/months/days.
