How do I manage severe hot flashes and anxiety on Arimidex?

I'm currently taking Arimidex (anastrozole) for breast cancer and dealing with multiple side effects. I'm having very severe hot flashes, joint and bone pain, fatigue, and severe anxiety with emotional distress. My doctor explained that these symptoms are commonly linked to this medication since it works by lowering estrogen levels.

Does anyone else find humor in unexpected moments?

Hi everyone, I had to laugh when I realized I had taken the membership to 666... lol I have neuroendocrine cancer, metastasis in liver, bone and other sundry locations in my abdomen. I was sent to a number of specialists because of the bewildering range of symptoms over several years and got the impression that folk thought me suffering from some weird attention seeking disorder until a doctor took a step back, actually looked at the big picture, ordered some imaging, then an ultrasound guided biopsy and... saw the by now well established tumors in liver, bones and... PET scan confirmed multiple locations, and immediately commenced PRRT treatment

How do I plan for mental health after prostate cancer?

I have intermediate-risk prostate cancer and I'm thinking about survivorship planning. I came across an article about how mental health should be part of your survivorship plan, and it really got me thinking. The article mentioned that about 25% of cancer survivors experience ongoing anxiety and depression, and that the end of treatment can bring mixed emotions - relief, confusion, fear of recurrence, and everything in between. As I navigate my treatment decisions and plan for what comes after, I'm realizing that emotional well-being is just as important as physical recovery. I'd love to hear from others with similar diagnoses about their experiences. • How did you handle the mental health side of survivorship planning? • What helped you manage emotions during and after treatment?
