Letrozole

I went off the Tamoxifen straight on to Letrozole the next day. Bad idea. It was like I was double dosed or something. I left it a week and then went back on the Letrozole and so far it has been good.

@kitkatb same. I’ve had to shave my legs a few times & my arms are resembling spider legs everywhere 😂

Yeah @Doodoo I lost just over half of them on both sides like the outside half looked really odd. But they come back quickly.  Just looking at my legs today and thinking might have to give them their first shave in months today.  

@kitkatb really weird!! Yuk!! I still have some. Eyebrows are looking very odd! Hope mine grow back fast too 😳

@Sister Aching stopping is most excellent! Long may it last. K xox

@Doodoo,  Lost eyebrows at 8 weeks post chemo but came back soon after. Really weird.

I had aching legs in the evening on letrozole which I have been taking since 9/8/18 - similar to during chemo.  That went on until a couple of weeks ago.  Now, it appears to have stopped.  My hands aren't as sore now, either.  I don't know if it's a different brand or I've just settled in, or just an anomaly.

I've been on Letrozole since the beginning of May and can't say I've noticed anything too bad. I have been a migraine sufferer on and off for nearly 50 years but I do now get very quick onset headaches which ordinary painkillers won't touch. The only way at present is to take another dose after an hour instead of waiting 4 hours. Our band had a gig when I got a headache before I left home, took 2 painkillers  an hour later at the venue I went to a nearby chemist who couldn't suggest anything stronger as 6 months ago laws were changed which meant nothing stronger available without a script so he said it would be ok to take another dose  Miraculously the headache went  I suppose all of us react in different ways with certain similarities to these ongoing hormone treatments. I'm just grateful that we at least have them. It's all a bugger isn't it. 

Yes!

So far so good on Letrozole, but it has only been 4 weeks. Fingers crossed it stays that way. I have started losing my eyelashes & eyebrows 8 weeks after tc. Did anyone else?
