Letrozole - recently started this and got a migraine straight away. Does anyone have any advice or happy to share their experiences?

Hi I had invasive lobular breast cancer diagnosis in September and have had 2 breast saving procedures- am now about to have radiotherapy but have been put on Letrozole and got a migraine straight away - any advice ? Experiences ? Thank you

  • Hi. I had a lumpectomy for breast cancer at the end of September, followed by radiotherapy that finished not long before Christmas. I started taking Letrozole on December 19th and I haven't had problems with it so far. I've been taking it every morning when I take most of my medication, although I know some people prefer to take it at night. I find that keeping busy during the day helps me not to think too much about it. If you're worried, there's no harm in speaking to a cancer nurse for some reassurance.
