Stopped Letrozole

I was only on Letrozole for 3 weeks but the symptoms got worse and worse and I couldn't cope , in fact I'm still suffering with some of the effects and it's been almost 2 weeks since I stopped taking them the oncologist told me to have a break for 3 weeks and go from there .

 

I already know I don't want to retry them , I'm aware of the implications and I no what it means if I don't take the hormone blockers. 

 

It's no good anyone saying there is different hormone blockers to try , but at the end of the day they do the same thing and will still cause the side effects .

 

I want to live the remaining life I have left knowing who I am,  what I'm doing and being able to do stuff for myself and not like it was when I was on Letrozole.

 

It may be the stupidest decision I've ever made but deep down I know I've made the right decision. 

  • Hi - am really sorry the letrozole tablets didn't work out as hoped. 

    Wanted to say I hear you! 

    Also, I hope the recent family event went well and all, including cats, are coping with this heat. Have to admit I'm finding the heat a struggle. It's affecting my thought. So, if I say anything daft, please forgive me!  It wouldn't be the first time today. xx

  • Hi .

     

    I did expect this would be the case,  just how many body likes to do things .

     

    The event went well, it was tiring and a lot of travelling,  the venue was an hour away from where we was staying , the B+B was a lovely suite in someone's house and in the middle of nowhere so the views were amazing and because it was up north it was really cool , 7 degrees over night , then came back to the horrible heat .

     

    The animals are also fine I don't think they are enjoying the heat either , I know I also am struggling with it .

     

    Hope you are well? X

  • So pleased all went well with the big event, plus you had a lovely suite with amazing views and got the extra bonus of cool weather.

    I am really struggling with the heat. Hopefully be cooler next week and the forecast doesn't change again. xx

  • I'm hoping for cooler weather too x
