Letrozole aches and pains
Hi everyone, I hope everyone is having a good day today :) I was put on Tamoxifin in March after my BC treatment, and then I found I had PALB2 so I had an oophorectomy and my Onc changed my meds...
Hi, just a follow up for anyone that reads this. I went to my Onc and she has taken me off Letrozole for 2 weeks and then I am to start Anastrozole. (fingers crossed) She said my symptoms were a mix of surgical menopause and medication.
First week I came off Letrozole, I started feeling better in a few days, mouth back to normal, ears not ringing and aches and pains seem to reduce. But I am now in week 2 and my aches and pains in my joints and muscles are horrible, I feel I am struggling with surgical menopause on top of the medication and as I have never had either before, I dont know which symptoms are from which!!
How do you cope with menopause when you cannot take any hormone remedies to help due to your BC being hormone receptive?
