I was told by my oncologist to take Krill Oil tablets for joint pain which I do daily but can really comment on their effectiveness.Letrozole has 2 major worrying aspects bone thinning and it elevates cholesterol..Getting baselines for both before starting might be wise.Btw walking should help with bone thinning and Krill with cholesterol.I think the most important thing all round is to stay active and not give up as I have found the body adjusts.
