Re: Questions about Anastrozole and Neuropathy (as separate issues)
I don't know anything about the weakness but my neuropathy is more predominant on my right side and I will say I've heard of several people with permanent damage. If you take a break or stop treatment it can be reversible, sometimes it can be permanent if it's taken too long.
I posted yesterday about stopping. There is nothing to prove, my docs know what's best and if they say stop I need to listen to them.
I was worried I would be forced to do radiation if I had anything less than a complete pathological response but I can't make decisions based on that. I would be very unhappy if my symptoms never went away, they are miserable to me!!
As for the other drug, I don't know what that is. I am ER/PR negative so if it's a hormone drug, that wouldn't be offered to me.
I too am having a double mastectomy with impacts because I don't have enough tissue to do DIEP, maybe when I replace these implants I can do it then.
Hope this was helpful to some degree.
