Hi @Joinmelb,
I was on Letrozole for over 12months, this medication is great and but side effects are that it turns us into old women. I find once I get moving, the feet don't hurt so much. I also invested in a pair of birkenstocks which have helped the feet. I have numerous bone lesions and have had a couple of surgeries to stabilise the long bones (humerus and femur). For the lesions, it depends on what they are - whether they are sclerotic or lytic lesions. All mine are sclerotic (maybe 1 is a mixed lesion). I've had radiation to my really sore spots (lumbar, sacrum and humerus and shoulder). I also have teenage children, 19 & 14. I was diagnosed in Sept 2016 ( 2years ago).
As written above, there are many links to information.
Also, you are not to blame for your diagnosis. Cancer is indiscriminate and has no bias. Your husband is externalising his own guilt/issues onto you which isn't fair. I see occasionally, a psychologist that is part of the cancer clinic, they are very helpful especially when stress levels are high.
Kind regards
