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 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.
