How has your experience been with anastrozole for breast cancer?
Community Member
3 days agoI have hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer and I'm postmenopausal. My doctor prescribed anastrozole to help block estrogen production since estrogen can fuel this type of cancer. I understand this medication works by reducing estrogen that any remaining cancer cells might use to grow. My doctor mentioned possible side effects like hot flashes, joint pain, and bone changes, and that they'll monitor my bone density while I'm on it. I'd love to connect with others who have a similar diagnosis and treatment plan. Your experiences and practical tips would mean a lot to me. • How has your day-to-day experience been with anastrozole? • What strategies have helped you manage any side effects you've experienced?

2 days agoI'm in the exact same boat with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer and just started anastrozole too! I've been wondering about these same things, especially how others are handling the day-to-day reality of being on this medication.
