Sorry to hear about your diagnosis.  I have been on letrozole for nearly 5 years now.  Before that I had tamoxifen for 5 years.  I do run to the toilet and my hair has thinned but that could just be the menopause.  The side effects are heavily outweighed by the fact that letrozole controls and stops the cancer coming back.

I had to have an operation, chemo and radiotherapy as my cancer was aggressive and had gone into the lymph nodes.  I am hoping to be discharged this year from having my yearly check ups and come off the letrozole.  The benefits have outweighed the negatives for me and I have been checked for my bone density and given calcium tablets whilst taking them. Take care 

Hi Georgina

Many thanks for your response.  It's been so helpful to hear your experience and to understand that overall the benefits are likely to outweigh any side effects I might experience.  

I'm so glad to hear that it sounds as if your treatment has had a really good outcome  and really hope that you will indeed be discharged this year.  Everything crossed for you.

Take care and all best.
