Hi Audrey, I’ve been on Letrozole since shortly after mastectomy in August 2018. At first, the main thing I noticed was that I was sleeping well for the first time in years! Between my husband and me we had four unrelated cancers over the same number of years. My brother was buried after having bowel cancer just 3 days before my op for the same. My husband then died in 2017, hence my difficulty with sleeping. 

However, despite being very fit and walking miles per day, I was diagnosed with arthritis recently, which apparently can be a result of treatment. I now find it very difficult to sleep despite being exhausted and also feel generally under par over the last few months. Roll on October 2023 when my treatment with Letrozole should end! However, I also feel grateful that my breast cancer can hopefully be kept at bay!! Good Luck to you!
