I know herceptin doesn't cross the blood-brain barrier, but I wonder if taking Arimidex will "starve" any cancer cell that might have found its way to my brain (Not!). Does Arimidex shut off estrogen in the brain? I am glad to be ER/PR+, but I believe that science will find better treatment for the negs. soon, just as they created Herceptin and Tykerb for us Her2 positives.
