When do I go onto Hormone Therapy Tablets (Not that I want to)

Hello, I've just finished 5 weeks of radiation last week. (12 February). At the moment I don't have an appointment booked with oncologist to talk about when I will go onto Hormone Therapy Tablets. When the oncologist told me what chemotherapy I would be having. He mentioned I would most likely go onto letrazole. Is there normally a few weeks rest time or is this something I should have soon. Just wondering if I need to follow up with oncologist or not?

Im going on ais soon and as you know im still getting radiotherapy. My oncologist asked me to go to dentist to check jaw bones for an infusion to look after my bones and also a bone density scan to recommend the right ai i think. Would be worth asking the questions about what next. I have an oncology appt in next few weeks and still have 3ish weeks of radiotherapy.
I think we had similar treatment to date although different cancer situation.
Hope this helps.

My surgeon said I would be on Tamoxifen.... but my Onc said Letrozole and I only lasted 6 weeks! Then 6 months on Exemestane... and now ‘happily’ (or as happy as you can be!) on Arimidex for 2.5years now. So don’t be afraid to try a different tablet if this one doesn’t suit you.
I am also taking some magic oil (started it when I went onto the Arimidex) and I am sure it is taking the edge off my aches and pains.
All the best xx
When you are ready, Jump onto to the webcast on fear of recurrence ... it is really good. I’ve just watched it now.
Take care xx
