Hi there ruggles and thanks for the post
I am sorry to hear about your treatment for breast cancer. Unfortunately there can be nail changes with letrozole due to it causing a reduction in oestrogen in the body. Keeping the nails short, applying hand and nail cream regularly and protecting your hands with gloves when doing housework/gardening will help.
I hope this is useful, other people in a similar position to you may also share their experiences and tips with you.
Best wishes
Naomi
