Re: Is anyone taking Zoladex injection and Letrozole tablet?
hi brightspace, thanks for the explanation, now I understand why I have been given this treatment. Since I've been diagnosed in late December 2016, I've been given Zoladex, plus Letrazole in the second month, but I've been told that I can't be completely cured. I'm always thinking of find a better treatment to completely cure the cancer. Perhaps I should change my mind and tell myself to relax abit, just wait for the drug to response.Re: Is anyone taking Zoladex injection and Letrozole tablet?
hi Anne, I haven't gone through menopause yet, but my period stopped after my second injection of Zoladex. But my oncologist didn't check my hormone level, so I don't know if it works or not. Anyway, I'm getting more bone pain daily since I started Zoladex, I'm not sure if this is caused by the drug or cancer.Re: Is anyone taking Zoladex injection and Letrozole tablet?
hi Anne, how is your health status at the moment? Are you well enough to have the surgery? e.g. are less/gain weight? any bone pain, etc. Hope you all the best for the upcoming surgery. BTW, is this a standard procedure to check the hormone level? My oncologist didn't mention about this.Re: Is anyone taking Zoladex injection and Letrozole tablet?
hi Iserbrown, I don't have a breast care nurse, I only see my oncologist for about 30mins monthly, and a nurse give me injection, nothing else. That's why I don't know much apart from my diagnosed figure. Where can I get the Breast care nurse service?Re: Is anyone taking Zoladex injection and Letrozole tablet?
hi Zoffiel, Thanks for your sharing and explanation, it make me more understand about the situation and the treatment theory. How long have you been on your treatment? Are the tumors gone or under control now? I'm 41 now, sound like that I will need to continue the Zoladex for my next 10-15 years unless I remove my ovaries.Re: Is anyone taking Zoladex injection and Letrozole tablet?
hi iserbrown, What is your situation now? Is the tumor gone or still remain ther? What is your tumor marker level now after the 2 years+ Zoladex injection and tablet. How long did it take before you get the response from this treatment? I just ordered the kit, hopefully will receive it soon. Many thanks
