I have been taking Arimidex since March and my doctor prescribed it to me, in which the side effects seem to be the same.
I'm now trying to find a GP to prescribe it to me, and would be very happy to do so.
Anyone here have experience with using Arimidex?
Thank you for the heads up!
P. S. I'm sorry this post has been taken off the radar for quite some time now.
Hi all,
I am just trying to start off on a new life with my breast cancer and I just recently got the news that my husband has been diagnosed with an endometrial cancer.
The good news is that I have not been taking any sort of anti-estrogens/estrogen for over 10 years and have been using Tamoxifen (I think I have been taking it for over 5 years).
My doctors had me to be a part of an IVF cycle in which I was told to take a daily dose of 1mg of Tamoxifen, but then after I started taking the cycle I stopped taking it because of the unpleasant side effect of the endometrial cancer. I am wondering if this is because the Tamoxifen is acting very poorly in my body and I am not aware of how long the cycle has been like this.
I am trying to get back to my pre-cycle regimen but I have not had much of an effect so far. If I am getting more time with my periods and trying to get through the cycle, then I am going to be able to get the whole cycle to take place at once.
I will definitely be on the Tamoxifen for about a year. I am also going to have my periods again in the Fall and will try again in the Fall but I don't want to get the whole cycle up again.
Hope that helps!
I have been taking Arimidex for over 10 years. I have a 4-year-old and have had for about 3 years with a complete breast cancer diagnosis. I have taken Tamoxifen for 5 years, and it is the most effective form of medicine to help the breast cancer to recover and start healing again. I take Tamoxifen for a couple of months before moving to the new breast cancer treatment that I am trying to get back into. I don't know how long the cycle will take and I haven't really had much time to take it for long. I am also on the Tamoxifen for 5 years now, but I would like to have the whole cycle to take place at once.
Thanks for the response!
I am planning to try my best for my second year. I just hope to get the next cycle on the way to hopefully help me get through the treatment process.
PS. I don't know how long the cycle will be like this. I will have my periods again in the Fall and then I will be able to get the whole cycle up again.
Thanks in advance,
Hello there,
Thank you so much for the information! I think that Tamoxifen may be working to help the cancer to heal, but I don't know how long the cycle will be like this. I also think that the side effects are quite similar and I would be more than happy to continue to take them. I am not sure what to do about it, but I am sure it will be okay.
Thank you again for your reply!
You're welcome,
Thanks for the detailed response. It really helped me find this information. I am going to try everything I know about the Tamoxifen and hope that the endometrial cancer is better.
Absolutely!
