Has anyone experienced a reoccurrence while on Arimidex? It has spread to the right lung first and I went on Arimidex. Last month scans showed it had spread to the left lung.
Thanx....

    Wow you've certainly had your share. And there I was feeling so sorry for myself. Will keep things crossed for your scan results. Keep in touch & let us know how they went. Love Pam.

    Hi, vinnie here: I'm sorry to hear that your going thru so much, but I'll pray that your scans come back with lots of good news for you.

    Hi, Yes, I had a recurrence while on arimidex for 7 years! I lasted 10 years, but last November was diagnosed with ER and PR possitive lobular carcinoma in my other breast. Had a mastectomy in December and now starting CMF chemo. Was shocked to learn of my second cancer after 10 years. My first cancer was HER2N so this was a different type. Onc took me of arimidex and I'll be on tamoxifen after chemo.
