I started taking anastrazole the other day following chemo and surgery and my periods have not yet returned and to ensure they don’t I need to have zoladex injections monthly. Anyone else on here having this monthly /three months and find it ok? Anything POSITIVE to say?xx
Hi Emma
I’m having the zoladex injections every month. Only been on it a short while, about 3 months now. But also taking letrozole at the same time. I’m experiencing a few hot flushes, but the main se for me at the moment is stiffness in joints. Nothing unmanageable. Hard to tell though which drug is causing it, probably a combination of both.
Interesting to see if this gets worse or if your body adapts to change. Happy to continue taking them if it helps keep the c away.

Thanks Sue. Have you been taking high strength glucosamine and high strenth cod liver oil and high strength evening primrose oil? My BCN advised me to start those before taking my hormone tablet and injection which should help side effects. … here’s hoping! Wasn’t sure if everyone took those x
Blimey, he sounds a delight!! Absolutely take time to recover. Your body has been through a lot physically and emotionally! Don’t rush back to work until you are ready x
