1/2 a dose of Letrozole

Hi has any body been prescribed 1/2 a doseage of this tablet due to different side effects. I have another year left to take this drug, I am struggling with joint Pains .

Hi Susie I have just been put on half dose of Tamoxifen because my hair started shedding. There is actually research showing half dose is similarly effective without the side effects, so feel better about that. Not sure about Letrozole, but might be similar. They seem to have a view about Tamox that any is better than none. Maybe you could ask if it is the same for Letrozole x

Hi Bibi44
I am going to arrange an appointment with my oncologist and see what they say x

Hi

I have been put on to Letrozole but have decided not too start taking it until I have finished all my other treatment so that I will know that any side effects are just from Letrozole!! Chemo finished, Rads finished two weeks ago, just have to have an intravenous drug on Tuesday which begins with a Z and ends in acid!! and is for bone thinning. Then I will start taking it, however very worried as it seems to have so many different side effects.  I will see how I go and if I have problems will also ask about half a dose.  As someone said something is better than nothing. 

 

Has anyone got anything good to say about the drugs they give us, it seems so many have side effects which after what we have all been through is just not fair.  I am looking forward to going back to work in June, I am 60 and want to enjoy my life, friends and especially my young grandchildren.  Plus and this is pure vanity would love my hair to keep growing lol.

 

Thanks for listening.
