Hi CT. I have also changed to Anastrozole from tamoxifen. I only started taking them on Friday but will let you know how it goes. I will be disappointed if I do as I managed to lose two and half stone while on tamofixen and dont want to put it all back on!! Do you like walking? Thats what helped me to lose weight before. Keep in touch and let me know how you are getting on…xx

CT, I initially had a dramatic weight increase, it settled after a few months but still continued on a more subtle level. It’s a constant battle to keep the weight off for me but then I’ve always been a bit like that naturally anyway! All the weight is around my middle which has never been where I’ve carried weight before so takes some getting used to! x
