When do I go onto Hormone Therapy Tablets (Not that I want to)
Hello, I've just finished 5 weeks of radiation last week. (12 February). At the moment I don't have an appointment booked with oncologist to talk about when I will go onto Hormone Therapy Tablets. When the oncologist told me what chemotherapy I would be having. He mentioned I would most likely go onto letrazole. Is there normally a few weeks rest time or is this something I should have soon. Just wondering if I need to follow up with oncologist or not?

- Hey @locksley,
Im going on ais soon and as you know im still getting radiotherapy. My oncologist asked me to go to dentist to check jaw bones for an infusion to look after my bones and also a bone density scan to recommend the right ai i think. Would be worth asking the questions about what next. I have an oncology appt in next few weeks and still have 3ish weeks of radiotherapy.
I think we had similar treatment to date although different cancer situation.
Hope this helps.
Michele - I started Zoladex at the same time I started radiation, and started Letrozole right after I finished radiation. Make an app to see your onco and see what’s happening
- Check with your oncologist - I started Letrozole very soon after finishing chemo and while still on herceptin. But that may vary depending on your specific diagnosis and your oncologist’s preferences. Best wishes.
- Follow up with Oncologist as it is part of ongoing treatment.
Best wishes
