Pokey1975

Welcome to the WhatNext family; we are glad you found us. There is tons of information and encouragement here. Please let us know how we can help you.

Hi Pokey1975...you will find wonderful people, information and support here. Glad to see you are asking questions. We all have much to share with and learn from one another.

I completed 5 years of anastrazole in February. In the beginning I did have nausea but I do not remember stomach pain or throat pain. Of course there were the hot flashes and night sweats in the beginning months...the night sweats improved, the hot flashes not so much! I did develop joint pain, especially in my wrists and fingers. A cortisone shot was necessary in the third year to treat deGuervains tendinitis that developed in my left wrist. The side effects to me were proof that the medication was working!

We all experience individual patterns of side effects, some have minor side effects, some have to change aromatase inhibitors...work closely with your oncologist and be sure to let him/her know what you are experiencing.
Good luck and welcome to the site.

Hello and welcome, we are happy to have you with us. Please feel free to join in the conversations. Here is a link to our cancer dx page for your type of cancer. Take a look at it to get you started on some information. You will notice at the bottom of that page 4 of our active users who have had that journey already, you may wish to contact them for their experience and wisdom. Also, I encourage you to go to the questions page now by clicking on the questions tab at the top of the page and post what is the most pressing issue you have right now. This will introduce you to the community and get you started on the help you need right now.

There are also subtypes listed on this page to narrow down the type of cancer to match your dx. Also, if you can take a few minutes and fill in some details of your journey so far, it will help others as they try to answer questions for you, it also helps others as they search through the data base to find someone like themselves. Confirming your email will allow you to receive updates and notices from the site when someone answers your questions or writes on your wall. Thanks for being with us and let me know if I can help you find any information on the site. After you have an opportunity to look the site over and see what great things there are here, we encourage you to invite your friends, family or anyone you know that may be helped by the connections on WhatNext to join the site also.
