Has Breast Cancer Returned After Stopping Anastrozole?

That’s why I refused to take this demon. Never started.

Jeanne H Is recurrence a potential issue? I just started anastrozole a few weeks back.

Jeanne - how long has it been that you have not taken them? Have you incorporated any natural therapies into your regime? I am looking into natural routes and would be interested to know.

My Dr told me I will be taking it for the next 10 years and after my radiation I will be on Abemaciclib (verzenio) for the next 2 years also..

I had a reoccurrence just after I finished my 5 year mark from my second cancer diagnosis. I’m now stage 4. I have Mets to my bones. Apparently anastrazole wasn’t working for me. I do have 3 different gene mutations, 1 is specifically for cancer cells mutating while on a treatment plan. Dang cancers cells are smart and become immune from the drugs.

Tracey R I am sorry to hear this for you! I am on the beginning of the drug. May I ask what gene testing you did to learn this? Hang in there, sending good thoughts.

Tracey what cell mutation causes mutation while in treatment? What was your first cancer diagnosis?

Jeanne, You refused all endocrine therapy?
