A member asked:
I am a 86 year old woman who just had breast cancer surgery and want to know if it is safe for me to take anastrozole. i have gout, osteoarthritis, kidney problems stage 3, high blood pressure and diabetes. after reading about the awful side affects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The side effects of anastrozole are significant and arguably less able to be tolerated than tamoxiphen, with roughly comparable statistics on breast cancer recurring. Your breast surgeon is a good source with whom to speak about your current medical health.
