Letrozole / Zoladex Side Effects Hitting Hard
Hi there, I'm day 9 of Letrozole, and week 2 of my second Zoladex injection. The joint pain has hit, but my biggest challenge is fluid retention, especially in my legs. Sitting and standing are real...

Made in here safely. Fluid retention is significant - going to see another GP today. The diuretics I was given hardly made any impact.
Have a long email to may oncologist and BC nurse and will be calling them first up on Tuesday when they're back from Easter.
I can absolutely understand and sympathise with those that stop their AI's earlier - there is absolutely no way I could live like this.
I realise that this is only early days so I'm really hoping (and telling myself to believe) that the team will be able to not only get me over this hurdle but figure out a way forward that is sustainable.
Last week I went to the gym on Sunday, swam 1km on Tuesday.
Today I need to hold onto something to stand up from sitting, don't have the thumb / wrist strength to assemble my coffee pot, and am taking 2 hourly painkillers.
Really puts a dent in how I can spend time with my father and my friends.
Best Easter wishes to you all
