Taking letrozole 2.5 ml a targeted breast Cancer treatment Vernizio 150 mg. For those her too positive I definitely recommend taking the letrozole Or the like such as anastrozole I did not take mine after my first bout of breast cancer in 2021. After receiving chemo /radiation and lumpectomy I only took it for a few months. My cancer returned now 4 years later. I believe the hormone blocker May have helped prevent this. Take your hormone blocker. It’s nothing compared to treatments for reoccurring breast cancer. 
. You can do it it’s not that bad and the symptoms do lessen if you have them at all.

So sorry that’s happened . We can never know if or when cancer returns but I will never understand those who advocate not taking the hormone blockers , if they weren’t necessary we wouldn’t be advised to take them . Hope your treatment goes OK

Hello,
Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread.
I will be on the next phase of the journey in 8 to 12 weeks, which is rad and hormone treatments. A letter to the oncologist should be on its way, but I was told her name.
I believe in listening to people in the know and doing what’s right for you, when you have the facts.
When the process of goodbye, we will send you an appointment for your yearly mammogram was taking place, and oh did I mention rad to you? With one foot out the door and leaflets in hand about you take responsibility for breast health, rad, and letrozole (and they are all the same, so read that), I was told that they do have side effects. I did say I knew, but no one asked me how I knew. I just found it all quite scripted, however, I appreciate the NHS and everything that has been done to help me, even though it’s not perfect.
So onto rad and hormone treatments.
I’m having 8 to 12 weeks off from cancer conversations (other than organising work, that has a heavy workload and is stressful, and I don’t know what to do about returning between treatments - ) however I’m glad to listen to your experience
