breast cance
"I have been taking Anastrozole for the past 10 months.. I had Breast Cancer and was treated with radiation for 6 weeks.   I have decided to go off this pill as it has terrible side effects.  The pain in my joints and hot flashes seem to have come full force just this week.  I feel like I can't smile, I have no motivation and just feel spacey  all the time. I am a young minded,  spirited 70 year old, and have always enjoyed life.  I honestly feel that my quality of life is more important than living with such disabilatating pain.  I believe that the next ten years should be enjoyed with my family.. I don't know if I will have the energy at 80 but I will do my best to enjoy every day getting there!"
