Arimedex

Kathy C.

I have been taking Arimedix since last summer. I really couldn't tolerate the heat. I thought it may be due to the radiation. Well the weather is warming up, if I'm outside for anytime I sweat profusely. I have to change my outfit. I am wondering if it is the Arimedix or something else. I have hot flashes but the symptoms I described are something different. Anyone experience something similar?

Arimidex can certainly exacerbate the hot flashes and radiation can create a burning sensation in the skin as well. Have you brought this up with your doctor? There is also a great group of women with breast cancer in the cancer connect private group you could connect with: https://cancerconnect.com/register/ Best C
