Welcome to DU. I don’t have an experience to share. I’ve often felt quality of life is more important to me than quantity. It’s a personal choice to continue with the Anastrozole. Is it possible side effects will lessen over time? Also, please check out side effects of These drugs, as I’m sure you already have done.

I hope you feel better soon and I’m here to chat any time. Just a bit younger than you.
