Jacqueline!

Your post is exactly what I was hoping to see! (I appreciate all posts and opinions) - but your's is so similar to mine, and you do understand my particular situation.
It was wonderful to see that you are this far out!
I do agree with you about obsessing over this .... and I was doing pretty well until I read that path report and I let it throw me into a tail spin!
Thank you for your input and taking the time to make this ole' gal feel better!
May I ask -- are you still taking Arimidex? My dr. would not help me decide and said it was up to me! I almost made myself sick over that decision and finally went off in May. In his office he said that almost 100% of women with my dx. go off in 5 years if they are having severe se's.
The fatigue and mood swings were the worst for me, besides the joint pain. Still have the joint pain - but not as bad, and the brain fog lifted within 2 weeks! Fatigue much better and what is left is probably old age creeping up!
Now that I know I am borderline HER pos...... I wonder if I should have stayed on the Arimidex? I understand there is a study about women like me staying off Arimidex for a couple of years - then going on Femara, or Evista.
If you don't mind me asking - if you are still on Arimidex - why you made that decision?
Thanks again.
Have a wonderful day!
