I have been on letrozole for four and a half years. I have two side effects - vaginal dryness that affects my sex life and a reduction in my bone density. As my bone density before I started medication was excellent, I shall probably get through my five years OK, ie my bone density will be average for my age but hey!! let's not get too picky, I could have done a lot worse. The vaginal dryness is a pain in the nether regions but humour and patience has got me and my partner this far and will see us through to next May. It may not get any better then but one step at a time. No aches, pains, flushes etc. I will have the satisfaction that I have done everything recommended to avoid a recurrence or indeed a new cancer. I passed the 5 year anniversary of my diagnosis yesterday. And no, there are no guarantees.
