CLL And breast cancer what 5 year tablet to take

I have CLL and having a targeted chemo drug  and have just had my breast cancer removed and need to go on to a 5 year tablet to help reduced the breast cancer coming back. I was put on Letrozole and had a few severe reactions to it and was laid up for 8 weeks and now need physiotherapy. I also have thin bones and osteoarthritis. Can or has anyone had a similar problem and managed to find any make of tablet that works without causing further problems?

  • Hello Sparky67

    I'm sorry to hear that you had a reaction to Letrozole. Has the Consultant suggested any other treatment options? 

    I know we've had a number of ladies here on the forum who haven't been able to get on with Letrozole and hopefully some of them will post to share their experiences with you. However, I'd encourage you to give our team of nurses a call to chat things through/ It may be that they are able to give you some information and advice. If you would like to speak to them they're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Best wishes,
