    Laura, I'm sorry your score was higher rather than lower; certainly makes you more anxious, doesn't it? Kudos to you for sticking with the clinical trial; you're a courageous, giving woman. I've been on anastrozole (Arimidex) for 4 1/2 years - it hasn't been too bad, just some aches and pains. So don't worry too much about that.

    You'll eventually get over this grind of doctors, needles, insurance, all that stuff, and settle into your new life. Time heals, it really does. In the meantime, thanks for staying in touch here - you're a valuable member of the community, and I appreciate your posts. Best of luck - PJH
