Hi my breast surgeon is awaiting histology from a second cancer found at my mastectomy and is now saying she might change me from Letrozole to this . I’ve asked why and she said to prevent recurrence but why change it? I was on Letrozole whilst waiting for surgery . Could it be that the second cancer grew in the meantime? It was not picked up by scan or mammogram . Thank you

  • Hi LCR,

    I am so sorry to hear this and I hope that you find out what you are dealing with soon. I am not a doctor, so I'm sorry that I cannot answer your questions. I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer within a year of one another. I took Tamoxifen for the first year, then changed to Letrozole for a further 6½ years. This was because the Tamoxifen hadn't kept the cancer away the first time. If you are worried about this, why not phone your breast care nurse and ask if she can give you any further explanation?

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
