I've been taking letrazole for 9 weeks. The side effects didn't start for 6 weeks. I got numb fingers which was diagnosed as neuropathy due to the kadcyla I'm also on. Then I got severe bone pain and cramps. When my whole hands started to tingle I realised it was more likely to be carpel tunnel syndrome. The oncology nurse agreed and I'm waiting for a GP appointment to check it out. It wasn't mentioned when I was given the drugs but there is some information on the Breast Cancer Now website. In the meantime I've paused my letrazole treatment to see which treatment is causing which side effects.  I'd cross my fingers if I could!

I’m sorry to hear about your side effects. I was feeling smug with no effect after 2 weeks-didn’t realise it might taken longer than that for any to show. I hope you get sorted so that you can start again with same or different medication

1. No worries, you may get away with it. Like most of us I'm not used to being unwell. I expected to bounce back into action but it's not happening yet. Good luck with the rest of your treatment.
