Hi I was diagnosed with breast cancer in April 2021 it was removed in May 2021. When a biopsy was taken it was thought to be grade 2 but when it was removed and tested I was told it was grade 3 the Wells score was 2. This meant my cancer was sent to America for further tests. While waiting for the results I had my radiotherapy, when the results came back it was borderline for me needing chemotherapy. I was told that 4 rounds would enough. I has E/C (Epirubicin/Cyclophosphamide) It was brutal and by my second session my white cell count was so low that it couldn't be done until it improved. I had to inject into my tummy for 5 days. This helped me produce white blood cells and I had the second session. I was so week but with the help of the injections managed the third session. This was the worst yet and I ended up with a chest infection that went on for weeks. My oncologist advised me to skip the last session of chemo. My treatment had been strong and apparently lots of people miss the last one. When I got better I started on Anastrozole to reduce my oestrogen level and hopefully reduce the chances of my cancer returning. I wondered if anyone on here has taken Anastrozole and how they've managed the side effects. I was fine at first but as my oestrogen level drops I'm getting aches and pains, hot flushes, awful cold spells and occasional blurred vision. Has anyone else experienced this
