    Hi yorkshirelass52,

    I was prescribed Letrozole in November 2020 following successful surgery for recurrent breast cancer after 24 years.

    I need to lose a lot of weight, but, even though I'm counting calories, have hardly shifted any wieght at all!

    It's so frustrating.

    My other main problem is really thick, strong facial hair. Cream removes it, but it is visible again in just a few days.
