Hello. Am new to community. Was diagnosed in Feb and have had lumpectomy, chemo and radiotherapy, most of which went ok. Now on anastrozole for 8 wks and feeling terrible, fatigue, bone and muscle pain, memory issues, diarrhoea. Symptoms are getting worse… Anyone else have experience of this medication. Does it get better?

Thank you. 

  • Hi I'm on the same medication but don't appear to be having any side effects. How ever I haven't had chemo or radiotherapy yet and not sure of this could have caused any of your problems.

    I do take my tablets before I go to bed so I might sleep through them as well. JoyJoy

    Please talk to you breast care team so they can help find one that suits you.

    Keep well and safe.
