No, I'm sick in knowledge though. I was recently diagnosed. So i'm looking for as much knowledge as possible.

After a couple weeks it gets better-and same with off/on but at time worked great!

I take this and after several weeks the side effects were gone. I can still have a little but mostly gone. MB

My oncologist said this was a bad idea because the cells would learn your new routine and come out more aggressively on those off days. For the first 2 months of having a bottle of Anastrozole in my possession thats what I was doing, every other day then I did 2 days on, 1 off, sometimes 1 day on and 3 off and I told her . She knew I didn't want to take it. But that is how she explained it. She said I take it or I don't. These cells are so smart they know. They are so smart that in late stage cancer they know longer work because they create their own fuel source and don't depend on estrogen that the AI is blocking.
