Hi, I was diagnosed with breast cancer December 2014 had a few complications on the way.  Finished radiotherapy May 2015.  I am on letrozole and feel so tired and achy all the time, diagnosed with osteopenia of spine which is start of osteoporosis, I think.  Im sure its the letrozole that makes us tired and achy, dr has put me on calcium tablet now as well. I went back to work September 2015 but only doing two days and Im completely done in!  Good luck at doctors on Friday.

Hi Vickyvettori,

The zoledex is a hormone based therapy which was part of the treatment I was given for my prostate cancer. It can cause mood swings and tiredness plus hot flushes which I found so bad at nights, it used to wake me up and once awake I couldnt get back to sleep again so felt tired next day. You are doing the right thing by asking your doctor about it.

Wishing you all the best, Brian.

Hi, Vicky, I am on Letrozole for endometrial cancer that has spread.  I have taken it for 6 months now and the tiredness is almost an illness in itself.  I sleep through alarms and can hardly stay awake during the day.  And the pain in my joints.is awful.  I will be interested to hear what you doctor has to say and if he has an alternative.
