Would appreciate any advice but I’ve finished myAnastrozole treatment about 18mths ago and was doing so well . Seriously moving on, hardly giving cancer a thought , flushes stopped after a few months , then the side effects started again a few months ago - didnt really notice at first , but now they are getting more prolonged and fiercer . Can I begin by saying I’m 68 so not menopausal . Can Anastrozole lay dormant and then breakout again? I’m getting hot flushes/ flashes and I’m really really hormornal …weepy , intolerant etc. you know what I’m talking about. Really dont want to bother my GP if I can avoid it . If its ‘normal’ to be ‘revisited’ then I’ll just have to 'deal ’ with it. Hope someone can offer advice.
