Hi Primek I finished radiotherapy in July.
Im super upset today. My GP told me on Wed to go off letrozole for 3 weeks to give my body a rest & he is going to contact the breast surgeon in the mean time. I woke up this morning with alot of hair on my pillow. I lost it with the arimidex & had just over 1cm coverage again. Hubby noticed a bald patch near the crown the other day a bit bigger than a 50 cent piece but this morning finding the hair on my pillow has really pissed me off (sorry about language) I'v had a gut full now & to be honest Im thinking these side effects arent worth it & if I get a recurrence I reallly dont care. Then I feel guilty about that because I know other people go through so much worse. My mindset is really in a bad place atm with my pre-existing depression playing havoc.
