Hello all,
Thank you for your stories - sorry for your hardships :(
I'm 47 - BC put me through menopause via chemo and then and I took Tamoxifen for 6 months and now 6 months on Letrozole. I cannot imagine taking it for 10 years right now. My situation is not as bad as yours - I do not have strong pain, but i'm really starting to struggle on Letrozole. I have a 5 year-old and want to be available to him in some sort of positive way. However, I am very flat, negative, very vague, tired, forgetful and for the last 2 or 3 months have had headaches and now nausea and indigestion daily. I don't know which parts are Letrozole and which parts may be still from chemo etc. I had started of thinking of taking a break from Letrozole too - so I'm quite glad to see some people have been told by their onc's they can do this. It's scary to do this though, isn't it? In case it comes back. I still have 2 prophylactic operations to have in the next few months as a I have BRCA too.
