@LMK74 I could have started the Femara (Letrozole) straight after finishing the radiation, but I didn't have the script until I saw the Oncologist two weeks later, and anyway as I had quite bad burns all over my entire right chest and section of my back, that were being dressed and I was on antibiotics, I felt I could only deal with one lot of side effects at a time.

I finished radiation on 21st October and I am starting the Femara on Monday.
I will keep you posted on how I do.
Hang in there with the radiation, the last week and the one after are really hard on the body and the fragile soul. Then you will suddenly find you don't need the strong pain tablets and the nasty burns are starting to look better.
Have you tried Clarytyne or Telfast for the itching, it was recommended by my radiation nurse and I really found it helped.
