I'm on holiday... from Letrozole!
With my oncologist's blessing, as of today, I am stopping Letrozole for a month. A Christmas present to myself. The two main side effects are the permanent bone ache in my ankles and thumb joints. ...
That's good @Brenda5 - I knew within 2 weeks that it was going to be a rocky road with letrozole for me!! You may be one of the lucky ones!! Hope the joint pain lessens.
I read somewhere that side effects can be lessened if taking half the dose in the morning & the other half in the evening ....... makes sense! But you'd have to discuss it with your Health Professional before cutting tablets in half (some aren't designed to be cut!!) So looking at trying 'half strength' tabs instead, if they are available!?
