Of the few of us who are taking arimidex or aother of the AI's, has anyone noticied a large increase in their cholesterol levels? I have been on arimidex 15 months and my cholesterol, particularly the LDL is up by 1/3 .
I am a vegetarian who exercises regularly so diet and lack of exercise are not the culprit - it is not hereditory either.
Onc says that AI's can do it but lets see what happens.
I am going to be retested again but I am wondering if anyone else has gone through this and what are the options and/or suggestions

thanks,

Susanne
