Insomnia

Hi, i was diagnosed with estrogen related breast cancer in Nov and have had surgery and just finished radiotherapy. I am taking letrozole and like so many of you have painful joints, but my main problem is insomnia and because I can't sleep my mind runs away with hundreds of questions. I've tried meditation, hot drinks etc  but once I'm awake i can't relax again, to be honest its purgatory. Does anyone get the same .

  • Hi ymp. I'm on Letrazole excactly the same . I just find it so difficult to fall asleep awake most nights,I'm lucky if I get 2/ 3 hrs sleep.. I've been on Letrazole for 3 yrs have another 7tyrs to go. But I won't stop taking it untill I have to as the fear of the breast cancer returning.  If its helping keeping it at bay ,I'll pay the price of pains and sleeves nights . But I do know how your feeling its not nice .
