Re: aromatase inhibitors
I've been taking Arimidex for five years and just agreed to another two. In the early days my side effects of bone and joint pain bothered me but think this has lessoned over the years and I prefer now to deal with that rather than cancer as feel arimidex may be keeping me cancer free, either the pain has lessoned or I've learned to live with it!!!
