I recently had a mastectomy and then the surgeon sent me to his
colleague, an oncologist. I told him I did not want to take Tam-
oxifan and he gave me a prescription for Arimidex. I've been taking it for 2-3 weeks and have had no side effects at all, except
for a few hot flashes, which don't bother me. I've read everything
I can find about Arimidex on the Internet (I certainly don't get
any real information from doctors)including forums where people who
have used it discuss it, and I have seen nothing really negative
about it. No hair loss, no nausea, etc. I wonder if anyone on
this list has used it or knows anything about it? It seems far
superior to Tamoxifan, except that it is very bad for the bones.
The price is unbelievably high, but I have several programs, Including 2 for people over 65 (I'm almost 75) and they pay just
about everything.
