Re: Effectiveness of Estrogen blockers
Thanks ladies for responding. I"m on Arimidex since June 2016. I will update my info. I did try to google this info but couldn't find any. My onc is sensitive to being questioned about what her prescribes. We live in a small town and all our onc's work under one company so changing dr's after all I've been thru seem fruitless. I experience hot flashes and muscle/joint pain from it and take Neurontin ( 300 mg) twice a day for it. I have a mammo scheduled for March 2017 as there's an "area of concern" they are watching in my other breast. I just never thought to ask about how effective Arimidex is in keeping my cancer from coming back. More things to worry about......
