What Are The Major Side Effects Of Anastrozole?

Yesterday I was prescribed anastrozole. Six weeks ago I had a mastectomy on my left breast. I am questioning the use of anastrozole. I have read the statistics of getting cancer in the right breast is very minimal. When weighing this statistics versus the documented side effects of the drug, I question if I should take it. Any suggestions?
