@kmakm yes I still get feelings too some months of getting my period, but it never comes. One of the things I think has contributed to my weight gain was absolutely chemo! and then thrown into menopause. I've never been this heavy and nothing shifts it in 2.5 yrs, so am getting moving again trying different things. I loved working with my exercise physiologist and highly recommend it, I worked with her prior to the reconstruction and then after, was fantastic!
I can't put a time on it, but I have no libido problems at 2.5yrs post chemo and haven't for some time, so just give your body some time.
I don't know Letrozole, but have been on Tamoxifen, Arimidex and now Aromasin, I had zero side effects on Tamoxifen and was pre menopausal. I have struggled with feet and joint pain on Arimidex, but the Onc took me off for 6 weeks as he said it takes that long for it to leave your system and to know if you are different or not. I was different off it, but then was put on Aromasin. I'm lucky in that I also have Prolia injections 6 monthly and for some reason that has an added guard on BC and they dont know why. Tamoxifen didnt work as I had a recurrence on it, I'm happy to just plod along, Im back at work full time this year, it is hard I admit, but this is the closest to normal I've been since 2015. Just see how you go, but you may find you have minimal side effects. xo
