Jo, every woman has her own personal reactin to whatever drug or chemotherapy she's taking, but in general, there's no sun warning assoicated with Arimidex. That said, it's not a good idea to spend lots of time in the sun without using a good, strong sunblock. Skin cancer isn't something you'd want to exerience in addition to breast cancer, so when you're in the sun, sunblock of at least 30 SP is the rule. And don't forget your head and ears, OK? Take care - PJH
