Hello Susie, 

I am so sorry to hear you have been waiting over a month for your Femara prescription and that you are unable to take other brands due to side effects. How frustrating it must be for you. Make sure you mention it to your GP/medical team - they may well have some helpful suggestions for you. I also wanted to let you know that this has been discussed recently on the forum - Gstring posted this thread on shortages of Letrozole (Femara) a few months ago and updated it recently so don't hesitate to respond with your experience - you will find on that thread others who have recently encountered a similar shortage for this drug. 

I hope that you manage to get hold of Femara very soon. If you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses who may have some additional suggestions for you, don't hesitate to call their free helpline on 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

Best wishes, 

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
