Letrozole, insomnia, CBD oil

So sorry that you are struggling @MJ04 .... it is horrible that the ‘cure’ almost seems worse than the original ‘condition’! :(   Welcome to the blog tho - I hope we are able to help you thru this shitty road that we are all on.  Where about are you? Which state/city? We may have members nearby who can point you to local services that may also be able to assist you.  You can add your town/state to your profile.

Weight gain, insomnia and aches and pains are the most talked about side effects from AIs ... yet many professionals still pretend they only affect a ‘few’, when the posts on BCNA obviously prove they are widespread across all ages and stages of recovery. 

I’ve had weight gain, aches and pains and insomnia and am on my 3rd lot of AIs - currently on Anastrozole/Arimidex.  I am taking CBD for the aches and pains, but take THC before bed, for insomnia.  My Onc is supportive of me and I have a letter from her in my wallet, saying I am on it for cancer side effects, in case I ever test positive in a roadside test.   

Please check out this thread ... and feel free to message me with any questions

Hi Everyone,
thank you so much for your messages. It’s really nice to be part of a supportive group.
I live  in Adelaide and I’m not part of a support group.
I am a public patient at the RAH.  I only saw my oncologist during chemo now it’s one of the breast Doctors. I do feel that I would be better trying to see my oncologist to discuss the awful time I’ve been having with letrozole.
Thankyou for your support everyone.
