Hi,
I was diagnosed with DCI breast cancer last July. Two surgeries to gain clearing margin and even than needed radiotherapy to ensure, I’m now on endocrine therapy.
I am now five months into taking anastrozole and whilst initially I wasn’t too impacted (hot flushes, tiredness and aching joints), i’m feeling a lot worse now and clearly wondering whether it is the drug or something else. (I hate that having a cancer and makes me so hyper vigilant about everything). Has anyone else experienced symptoms of headaches and GI-including heartburn, hiccups, nausea - this much time after starting the drug.
I absolutely hate taking drugs but was completely on board with doing this for five years to avoid recurrence. I can’t imagine feeling the way I’m feeling right now for another 4 1/2 years.
i’d appreciate any words of advice xx
