3 weeks off Letrozol

I am on holidays in Calgary, Canada from Australia.
i packed all my husbands and myself medications except i forgot to pack my Letrozol for the three weeks I am away.
so I will miss taking it, I know this is not good, is it going to make too much difference or should I go to a Dr over here and get a script, and would he give me one ?
I just don’t know what to do

    Hi LynJoan. Could you email your doctor and check maybe? That might set your mind at ease and that way you could enjoy your fabulous holiday.

    I'm having a Letrozole holiday for the whole of December, with my oncologist's blessing. Obviously we're all different and your doctor might have a different opinion as regards to you, but as @Afraser said, there are many people here who take breaks from their AIs. It doesn't seem to be a big thing. I'd check via email or sms to be on the safe side. K xox

    You could try a doctor, but without any proof you have already been prescribed it, it's a big ask! To be honest, there is not much you can do - it's a hiccup, but others have had time out from letrozole, so it's not the sort of thing you are going to fly home immediately about! So best to relax, accept it's a temporary problem and enjoy Calgary, it's a really interesting place.
