Letrozole prices
Well my friend talked to me about Chemist Warehouse as she was going off to the city on the bus for her scripts.She said she found her generic scripts much cheaper.She took the name Letrozole and aske...
My oncologist talked himself into it @kmakm :smiley:
I was supposed to start after radiotherapy, but on a ''yay I finished chemo!" high, I said 'why wait?' Obviously I didn't know what I was getting myself into.
After an emergency oncologist consult to discuss what to do about the unbearable side effects this week, we agreed to pause for post-chemo recuperation and to get past radiotherapy.
Then I reminded him that after I finish radiotherapy I'm going on holiday and he took pity and said I can't be having Letrozole misery on my hols. Two weeks after I get back I'm having my mastectomy/Diep flap, and you have to come off AIs for surgery. I am booked in to see my oncologist two weeks post surgery and I will have to take another run up.
I also think it helped that he was in a very beneficent mood, as he and his wife are looking forward to the imminent arrival of a new baby :smile:
TLDR: I wasn't meant to start yet, and a confluence of events means I can't realistically restart until mid November. Also, my oncologist is a sweetie.
