I ended 5 yrs on arimidex in Nov 2010. I am 52 yrs old and 5 yrs cancer free. I noticed clearer thinking, less joint pain and oddly enough some weight gain, which could have nothing to do with that. I would love to hear how others are post therepy.

I will be off my 5 years of Arimidex
in Dec 2011 and have the same question.
I have read many posts where women have
stated that losing weight is so very much
easier once off of Arimidex or Aromasin.
I can hardly wait.
