Which is best?
For me, Exemestane has been the best of the hormone treatments I have tried, (have tried
Arimidex
, Tamoxifen & Zoladex too). In chemo, I've had Carboplatin, weekly Taxol, & Caelyx, & none have been very successful. Has anyone had anything else? Di

For Prostate Cancer You Don't Need a Rocket Scientist
Then I found an old time urologist who only knew Lupron...I told him my goal and asked for prescriptions for Xtandi/Avodart/Metformin/
Arimidex
/Cabergoline rec'd by Myers and Strum, and also T shots so I could do Xtandi/BAT and he said sure...my only goal at this point is to try and prevent CR. Gus

New Treatment Plan
I was on 125 Mg of Ibrance and was taking
Arimidex
daily and getting an IV of Zometa every 4 weeks. The tumor in my breast and one in the armpit are growing and the bone mets are also worse since my last scans.

Zometa and increased kidney levels
I have MBC with bone mets in the hips, ribs and spine and started with
Arimidex
and Zometa in October of 2016. In August of 2017 Ibrance 125 MG was added. About the same time I started the Ibrance my creatinine levels started increasing and I just wondered if this happened to anyone else?

Tired
Then another lung met in later 2017, to which I am now taking Tykerb,
arimidex
, and Zolodex. I find myself tired. Emotionally, brain tired. I don’t want to fight anymore. This disease is taking me down and I don’t know how to stop the slippery slope. How do y’all stay positive?

New Drug Concerns
My Oncologist has put me on a breast cancer drug to see if tbis makes a difference to markers (
Arimidex
) it is causing a reoccurrance of the neuropathy I experienced on the Avastin. It seems to also affect my balance I fell last week and have discovered a painful lump on my groin.

I was placed on
arimidex
and was ok for almost four years and then the surprise! I was re- diagnosed with Mets to the bone in may of 2016!!!! All my fears returned and the same questions intensified. I have been on faslidex and ibrance and am grateful for these meds.

Hi There
Have had 5years
arimidex
, ovaries removed, radiation,bilateral mastectomies and reconstruction. Have had no "hiccups". Now, a routine blood test at my annual exam in October and a repeat test a week ago came back with elevated ALP, negative for coming from the liver but probably bone.

New to this community but not to breast cancer...
This go round I had a unilateral mastectomy with DIEP reconstruction (no node involvement) and am taking
Arimidex
for 10 years, no chemo or radiation. I am fortunate that they are unrelated breast cancers and there was no sign of metastasis.

Continuing Arimidex
I’m 7 years out since my breast cancer diagnosis. I’m still taking anastrozole. I plan to do this for the full 10 years.

New to this site.
I took tamoxifen for 5 years and am now taking
arimidex
. I have developed neuropathy in my feet, but it's a small price to pay for still being here for my family. I have blood work done every 6 months and a mammogram and PET scan once a year.

Arimidex

Arimidex

Side effects of arimidex
I finished 8 rounds of chemo on June 1 and started on
arimidex
on June 8. I have more aches and pains now than I did when I was having chemo. Hands, legs and lower back all are achy and have sharp twinges of pain in them. It is hard to sleep or do anything because I feel so tired and uncomfortable.

Soy Products & Triple Neg BC
I have TNBC, had double mastectomy, finished chemo and am on
Arimidex
. Not that I love soy or tofu, but so many products are made with soy derivatives. I don't eat any of the processed soy products. What about tempeh & seitan?

Ibrance after anti-hormone drugs?
Am Est+ and have cycled through
Arimidex
, Tamoxifen, Faslodex shots, and am now on Xeloda for almost 2 years. My Oncologist wants to put me on Ibrance with Letrozole next, but a consulting Oncologist says NO!
