Breast Cance
"I started anastrozole one year ago.  At first I didnt notice any side effects. Now for the past three or four months Ive experienced gradual increase in my joints. My hip joints, knee and hands, give me a lot of pain.  I also have stiff hands when I wake up each morning, trigger fingers and thumb, it gradually gets better as the day goes on.  Other side effects I have experienced is hair thinning, anxiety, insomnia, thinning nails, chronic diarrhea, thinning of the lower walls of my vagina causing a bladder prolapse and dry mouth.  I have stopped taking the product and called my oncologist.  He suggested Aromasin but after reading about the side effects of that it seems like I am going from the frying pan into the fire."
