Recently diagnosed with breast cancer at 84

I was diagnosed with breast cancer a week before Xmas, I’m wondering if anyone else feels the cold if on Letrozole. Some days I can’t keep warm, which is very unlike me, wondering if it’s meds or just old age. 

  • Welcome to the forum, Anzig,
    I’m sorry to hear about your diagnosis and that you’re feeling unusually cold.
    Many people on Letrozole have mentioned side effects that can affect their body temperature, so it could be related to the medication. It’s always a good idea to mention any new or unusual symptoms to your healthcare team, as they can provide guidance and reassurance.
    The other thing I wanted to mention is that you might find it helpful to read more about Letrozole here: Letrozole (Femara) information
    If you’d like to discuss your symptoms with one of our nurses, you can reach them at 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
    I hope you find the answers you need, and some relief from this bothersome symptom.
    Best wishes,
