I started taking Letrozole immediately after seeing the oncologist three and a half weeks ago. I start 20 sessions of radiotherapy next Monday. You can take the tablet at any time of day but I have mine at lunchtime with food. I have found that it minimises the effect on my digestive system. At first I had indigestion and bad stomach ache but these symptoms are beginning to lessen now. As Jolamine says it lowers the risk of cancer returning so I think it is worth starting straight away and disregarding some initial discomfort. I understand that side effects could disappear in time so I am prepared to be patient and keep on taking it.

Thanks and very much like Jolamine you have helped me focus again, I am starting it this evening. I hope your radiotherapy goes as well as it can.
