Debbie, This is why I asked you how long you've been taking Anastrozole. I have been on it almost 6 years and have the same - yet opposite - experience with my onc. At the 4 year mark he was on the fence and said we'd wait and see what the research was saying in a year's time. (Like your dr., he also is heavily into research.) A year later he said I shouldn't even think about quitting, even though I was complaining about side effects. Could he have just been having a bad day? I don't think my poor old joints can handle another 4 years of this. (On the other hand, my joints ARE 65 years old and I might be having these aches and pains anyway.)
