Suffering with Letrozole side-effects weeks after coming off it…
I think it has been discussed a lot already.. sorry… 55 y.o stage 2 ILC with mastectomy, preventative mastectomy on other side, radiotherapy. Finished all by end June this year. But I just need some...
Unfortunately experiences are highly individual and varied. What works for one doesn’t work for another. I was on letrozole for a full ten years. It ate into my bone density (which happily was very good before I started) but no aches, pains, flushes or anything of the kind. It’s neither fair nor unfair. You are doing everything you can. It’s worth sticking it out for another month or two, it may take that long for your body to adjust. Then you go back to your oncologist and ask for other options. Letrozole can be part of recovery (I am fourteen years NED) but it can also make your life miserable. Look for some light in your tunnel. Best wishes.
