Alternatives to hormone meds.

I am 74 and have recently had a lumpectomy followed by 5 days radiotherapy.

Tumour was 11mm grade 2 with no lymph node involvement. Letrozole was prescribed.

I have taken 1 every other day but I feel nauseous and have loose bowels.

The more I read the less I want  the next 5 years of my life to be painful and full of extra drugs to

cope with high blood pressure and cholesterol and weak bones. I already have worrying blood pressure and

 cholesterol and steroid injections for painful osteoarthritis.  I have decided to look at natural food alternatives to lower hormones.

 Years ago there was no medicine and women survived 30 years plus. Come on oncologists look at other treatments .

 We deserve treatment that does not have so many negatives for living a normal life. I am fit and do a lot of exercise .

What natural alternatives have people tried? Are other countries treating breast cancer differently to us?

  • Hi there   I’m on Letrozole too but take Magnesium for the bone pan 150 mg morning and night , always check with your doctor though 

    I also take Calcium and vit D to protect against osteoporosis ( you have to take at a different time to Magnesium ) 

    I also take vit B12 as Letrozole makes your hair shed x
