Letrozole and soft tissue injuries
Hi all Been a while since I’ve been on and hoping someone can help. Have been on Letrozole 3 years and this past year seem to be having a few soft tissue injuries not justified by my activities.Fi...
Yes @Afraser me too.
I fractured a rib earlier this year as I started hormone therapy already osteoporotic for several years.I have Prolia injections 6 monthly to provide some protection from bone thinning but think 10 years of hormone therapy may not be possible for me because of this.
I also have vaginal atrophy exacerbated by hormone therapy which now makes annual Pap smears etc v. difficult without a week of oestrogen pessaries beforehand .An early menopause initiated it however.
My eyesight is problematical too with glaucoma in right eye due to medical negligence some years ago . However all the above are manageable and life goes on with the guidance of some wonderful medical people and some resilience on my part.
I just want to know why all the soft tissue injuries and find a way to mitigate them if I can as been a limiting at times. And yes recurrence/ Mets always a background thought though I recognise I have been fortunate as 3 and half years since surgery and mammogram today ok - oncologist tomorrow.
Thankyou for your kindness xo
