Hello everyone thank you for your replies.
I have tried Panadol , nurofen and endone and nothing seems to settle the pain down. I called and spoke to my medical oncologist and have been told to stop taking the Letrozole and I will see them in January 2020 and if the pain has eased we will talk about changing the medication.
I was on tamoxifen first for 6 months until I had my ovaries removed and had no idea that could cause heart attacks. I know medication can affect people in different ways but where can I find information on medication and possible side affects so I can be aware and start to take control of my treatment as up to now I have been doing what I have been told to do.
I would have liked to give it a good six months but I just can not deal with the pain and I don’t want to walk around like a zombie everyday.
