Anyone on HERCEPTIN+AROMATASE INHIBITORS?

Kat,
I have been on Arimidex for about 20 days now. I've noticed in the past 2 weeks, I have been a little crabby. But that could also be from the heat wave we had last week, plus I have been much busier every weekend this month (fun things,tho) and there is alittle more stress at work right now (end of fiscal year).
So it's hard to say whether or not the moodiness comes from the Arimidex or circumstances. Not to forget, my 1 yr anniv is coming up for when I had my physical & mammogram.
I just noticed today, that I have some peach fuzz on the cheeks (the whole area in front of the ears). I am assuming that is from the Arimidex because it is a hormone blocker, but I can't say for sure. Other than that, I don't think I am having any side effects from it. If my onc asks, I would stay on it. I am also 52 post menopause.

kat in the delta,
I am 52, also and did bloodwork that showed I was postmenapausal.
Does anyone know if Arimidex makes you gain weight ??

My sister gained weight on Tamoxifen and is now on Aromasin as Femara made her ache.
