My Consultant has started me on Anastrozole to tackle one of my cancers (I have 2 lumps - one is Lobular - can't remember what he said the other is).
He wants me to start it while I recover from CT and Mammogram with contrast dye allergic reaction before he plans my surgery (subject to results from this Monday 26.1.26 bone scan)
Has anybody had problems with taking this please?
I am very wary of new meds now after my frightening reaction to the contrast dye.
Thank you xx
Hi there, I am sure others with experience will be along soon to respond, but in the meantime, if you pop the word “anastrozole” in the search bar at the top left of the page, it will show you all previous mentions of this drug, so you can browse through and see what people have said previously. Best wishes
