Are there side effects for you from the Letrozole?

- primekMemberChanged due to side effects completely unrelated to my thyroid though. Much better on anastrazole.Sign in to react to this post
- cassidieMember@primek Did you change because of side effects?Sign in to react to this post
- cassidieMember@JulieVT11 thanks for your help. So I should keep a regular check on thyroid levels
hope all goes well for you and the side effects are manageable.Sign in to react to this post - primekMemberI've been on anastrazole 12 months. I was on letrozole prior this for 3 years.Sign in to react to this post
- JulieVT11Member@cassidie my BC was stage 1 and as I had a single mastectomy I didn’t need radiation or chemo so am on tamoxifen for 5 years. I have had quite a few side effects with the tamoxifen - hot flushes and last few months joint pain are the main ones.
Regarding the thyroid meds my Dr checks all thyroid levels And found my T3 was a bit high so the meds are to help keep it balanced with T4. Not all Drs will test or prescribe T3.Sign in to react to this post
