Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Hi Steph, I was on Arimidex. The Onc was not particularly happy, wanted me to try Aromasin, but I figured he wasn't the one who had to live with the side effects. We did do a trial of off than on with the Arimidex to make sure it was causing the problem and it was. All the aromatase inhibitors work pretty much the same so I was unwilling to use any of them given the side effects. Just think we are told the aromatase inhibitors are better with fewer side effects than Tomoxifen. Tomoxifen is now generic the aromatase inhibitors cost about 300 dollars a month, 10 bucks a pop. Hmmmmmmm, what is the motivation here? Forgive me just thinking out loud. Ruth > > Thanks Ruth for your response! Which one were you on?
