How many of you think anastrozole has NOT made you look older?

I feel older but I don’t think I look older. I’m interested in your experience. Tia

5/23 I was diagnosed with stage two grade three IDC. I had a lumpectomy, radiation, and six rounds of chemo. I have been NED.

Today my mammogram showed nothing and my ultrasound which picked up my last cancer, as the mammogram did not, show a 4 mm lesion of some sort in my other breast.

Since it’s Saturday, my care team is unavailable. I don’t know if I’m going to need a biopsy, another lumpectomy, a wait-and-see, is it cancer? Trying not to stress and venting. Wishing you all the very best.

I had lumpectomy, 6 rounds of TCHP, radiation and am on Anastrozole. Next month I go for my scans, hopefully they’ll be clear. At that point it will be two years NED.

What lingering effects do you have from treatment? I don’t know if my lingering effects are from treatment or age. I’m 58. I find that I have stiffness. I sleep a hell of a lot more, weight gain. I tire easily. The numbness in my toes seems to have gone away. I’m wondering what other others have. TIA
