Hi, since starting on anastrozole and alendronic acid I've had 4 bouts of urinary tract infection in 2 months. Never used to get them, so I'm wondering if there's a link. Worrying also about side effects generally, especially the alendronic acid. 

  • Hi

    I'm sorry to hear that you keep getting urinary tract infections. 

    When you joined the community back in July my friend Thehighlander suggested that you joined the breast cancer group. This is still a good idea as you'll then be able to discuss this problem with people who have been on the same treatment as you.

    To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post your question after selecting 'start a discussion' and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.

    When you feel up to it, it would be really useful if could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.

    Thank you, I'll do that. I wasn't ready in July.
