Side effects after taking anastrozole are very uncomfortable and really not acceptable. Constipation and nausea and heart burn and back pain are all increased when taking this drug. Most of these problems and a hiatal hernia are my complaints before the drug. All are much worse after taking this drug for a 6 weeks. Any suggestions?
Is taking anastrozole necessary to take after a lumpectomy?

Hi ChickenLady,
Yes it is performed with lumpectomies.
He may have changed his mind after getting the biopsy reports.
It's done to go after those cells that may have been left behind so he's being cautious too.
Are you scheduled for radiation?
I was on this med for 5 years.
It's not fun but I hardly remember it now because of the brain fog from chemo.
Keep your head up! This to will pass.
Keep in mind the need to stay positive!
Breast cancer month used to make me nuts and still does.
Find your triggers and avoid them.
Create a health diary to help keep track of symptoms, events, pills and your feelings, of course.
We are survivors! Enjoy it!
