anastrozole and men

I have seen lot of posts and spent hours on the forums wherever I found mention of advanced bone age/Anastrozole/Letrozole. It seems there are quite a few posts under Pediatric Endo forum but not able to find any answers if any parents tried Anastrozole/Letrozole and what has been their experience regarding delaying bone age and side effects. I will appreciate if any parent with experience of using Anastrozole for their kids may share their experience.

I am 75 but always had lots energy before cancer treatments (lumpectomy, chemo, radiation and now Anastrozole for 5 yrs). What can I do to combat all these bad side effects while taking Anastrozole for 4 more years??????? Are there other women going thru these, same side effects with Anastrozole etc.? How do you cope? Please give me some feedback on this........

Have developed a heart rhythm disturbance, shortness of breath, edema of hands and legs/feet since being on Anastrozole. How worried should I be? Should I consider discontinuation discussions with my Dr.? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/542261'>Can Arimidex Cause Skin Lesions?</a>.

To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of the selective aromatase inhibitor anastrozole (Arimidex), we conducted a phase II trial in 53 women with asymptomatic recurrent/persistent müllerian cancer. METHODS: Patients with ovarian, peritoneal, or fallopian tube carcinoma were eligible for enrollment. Eligible patients had an ECOG PS 90 days, 15% for >180 days, 7% for >270 days, and 4% for >360 days. One patient remained on anastrozole at 15 months.

im on anastrozole.

I have body aches, joint and muscle pain and trigger finger. I am 55 years of age and already have osteoporosis. I know that letrozole can also cause osteoporosis. My doctor has decided I only take letrozole every other day because of my side effects and osteoporosis. I hope this amount will still keep the cancer away. Any suggestions on someone taking it every other day.

If you've had Hashimoto's for that long, have you also been on any replacement thyroid hormone medication? If so, what medication, dosage and for how long? Have you had Free T4 and Free T3 tested to determine actual thyroid hormone levels? If so, what are their results, with reference ranges? I've read that there's a connection between breast cancer and thyroid disease, but I'm not exactly sure what it is.

m taking Anastrozole for the next 5 years and I hurt. Does anyone have any thoughts about the bone pain? Does it go away, get better or worse? Thank you for any help.

My son is 5'1" and has early puberty. We have decided to give him anastrozole and are going today to get all of his hormones tested. We are considering Lupron because he is going through puberty early to help delay everything. It is really scary to me too. I am giving liquid vitamins everyday to help give him vitamin D, etc.

So maybe you could ask him whether your son does that and whether orgasm is achievable and anything at all comes out? If orgasm is possible, right afterwards he may obtain a urine sample and send it to laboratory for microscopic diagnostic to determine the presence of sperm in it. There is a condition called retrograde ejaculation, where seprm flows the wrong way- towards urinary bladder.

I received 4 treatments of Adriamycin and Cytoxan, then 12 treatments of Taxol, followed by 33 radiation treatments. I am currently taking Anastrozole. My ob/gyn wondered why they didn't want me to have a total or partial hysterectomy. Should I do this. Am I at high risk for cancer of the ovaries or uterus?

As zouzi indicated, these two drugs are very similar in effectiveness, and there is some evidence that they both are superioir in some ways to a third AI, Aromisin: "December 14, 2009 (San Antonio, Texas) — New results coming from 2 mature trials with exemestane (Aromasin, Pfizer) suggest that this aromatase inhibitor differs slightly from the other 2 available products, letrozole (Femara, Novartis) and anastrozole (Arimidex, AstraZeneca).

Hi there, Thank you for answering my question. No,she is not on chemo therapy,she's on Faslodex250 mg.shots,Anastrozole 1 mg,and medicine from the doctor for itching and dry skin, plus a cream or lotion they put on her alot. I compared medication she was on before this itching started and what she's on currently.....not much difference,just more pain meds,asprin, and breast cancer medicine.

I have been taking Anastrozole for about two and half years for stage 1 ER/PR positive breast cancer. About a year after I started taking the drug, I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes that is not particularly well controlled, even though I take two different prescriptions. A few months after that I was diagnosed with high cholesterol. For that I now take Lipitor, which has lowered the total cholesterol quite a bit.

I was 38 and premenstrual. Following surgery, chemo and radiotherapy had 5 years of zoladex and arimidex which finished in Aug 2013. My periods returned 10 months later but have been very irregular, cycles from 5 weeks to a 2 month and a 3 month cycle. I have had enormous problems with intermittent fatigue, muscle aches, painful breasts, mood wings (PMDD), hypertension. I was fatigued during the hormonal tx but the present fatigue does not improve with rest.

My husband has ankylosingspondilitis and takes enbrel injections and has considered taking methotrexate before. Best of luck. Could be a real blessing from God :) and a healthy baby!

I used to cry all the time ay everything even at commercial and I was the worst when I would watch like teen mom and I would cry bc my baby wasnt here yet lol before preggers I wasnt much of a crier but when I was it was like a water park..

I dont agree, if he was just thinking with that head he would have kept on going, at least he had the decency to realise it was comfortable for you and stop, as time goes by you will find it ever increaslingly uncomfortable, the trick is to try different positions, and sometimes you may even have to use a water based lubricant to help, if all else fails, try pleasuring each other without intercourse, this can sometimes take the stress out of everything and remember to try and have fun :)

I do not see to many men on this forum, and was wondering if you think that a girl has a harder time getting over physical abuse than a boy does i have talked with lots of men and women, but the men seem to want to just put it behind them, and i know that it must be hard.

If he feels the need to lie to you about watching porn even though you know better, and when you confront him about it, he gets angry, then I would wager that he doesn't want to fess up and admit you aren't "100% perfect" sexually. Very few couples are. As a man, I can tell you there's millions of women out there "hotter" than my wife and to be perfectly honest, if one came to me and really offered herself up, it would take a LOT to refuse.

I have been with my finance for 9 years now and was very contend and happy with our relationship till last night. My 20 year old daughter has just moved back home after breaking up with her boyfriend. Last night I woke up at 3 a.m. and noticed that my partner wasn't in bed so I got up to see what was up. I figured he was talking with my daughter since she is going through a break up and does need to talk. That is when my world just crashed.

so i slept with a woman 6 years ago who had hpv and said id be fine i dnt know what type of hpv she had. 1 year ago and 10 months ago i slept with another girl after we broke up and since then havnt slept with anyone else. She said she was checked 2 twice in the 1 year and 10 months we dated and had nothing. Wouldnt that make me clean as well or is there a chance I could be a carrier of hpv? I need help with this it bugs the crap out of me that men cant get tested.

I didn't see my answer there - men want to look at naked pictures of women they don't know, and women don't want to look at naked pictures of men they don't know. It's a brain thing, a visual thing. The one porn magazine that was directed at women, "Playgirl" was bought by women as gag gifts for bachelorette parties, and by gay men.

I'm just curious my husband has been working out and taking vitamins and supplements to help him building up muscle, if I were to become pregnant would that affect the fetus..

Im 32 weeks and 5 days, me and my bf got into it, im ready to call it quits. How do u relief stress any pointers will help..
