  • Hi there, I was diagnosed with breast cancer 2 weeks ago for the second time in 10 years, I am now on the waiting list for a mastectomy and have started to take Anastrozole. Any tips on what to expect and how to deal with them. Thanks

    Me too!  I’d just about got my head round the potential muscle pain and osteoporosis... then I googled...!  Now I’m having a meltdown!

  • I daren’t look at all the side effects, so much in last couple of weeks to get my head around and no clear date of when my operation will be, 2-3 months at the earliest. It’s the waiting that is stressing me to out.

  • Hi Daisy May T

    Welcome to the forum and sorry that you have been diagnosed with Breast Cancer for the second time.

    When I was due to have my operation I did the things that I loved which helped keep my mind off it.

    Best of luck with your operation and hopefully you won’t have to wait too long to have it.

    Best wishes
