Ann58 Please Try not to use Dr Google for ANYTHING to do with your treatment, surgery or ongoing side effects etc. It is often not relevant to your own treatment & can just scare the pants off you! Your medical team would be the ones to ask. xx

Yes, some people do have side effects from Letrozole but as you say - everyone is different and react differently to individual treatments. Letrozole is also considered the 'gold standard' for Hormone Suppression - so give it a 'real go' and see how you go yourself.

I haven't heard of any teeth issues with Letrozole ..... Sometimes teeth issues need to be addressed before some types of chemo treatment can be started .... even with teeth being removed. Once again, your team will advise you of any issues you might encounter along the way xx

Take care

I was reading it here in a group. In Hormone Therapy group. I’m off to dentist for a checkup soon!

I will for sure give the meds a chance 😊🌿
