  • Hello Annhelmut,

    I am sorry to hear about the side effects you have been suffering with letrozole. We have detailed information about these here. We have had quite a few members post on the forum to share their experience of letrozole. You might be interested in reading this thread which was posted to our nurses recently and the advice given there may be useful to you. It might be worth talking to your medical team and asking them for tips on how to alleviate these side effects.

    You might also be interested in having a look at this thread or this thread where some of our members have shared their letrozole stories and feel free to respond if you wish.

    Our nurses are also available Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm on this free number 0808 800 4040 so feel free to give them a call and discuss your situation with them.

    Best wishes,
