Hi, I’m very new to this Forum and like so many am a little lost from my diagnosis. I had BC in 2014 and had Mastectomy, Chemotherapy and Tamoxifen for 9 years. I recently fell and it was discovered had secondary cancer in my hip and femur which have been replaced. It’s been a long journey being in hospital learning to walk again. Had my first scan and results last week and I am stable which I am really thankful for. I’ve only just started to think about the diagnosis after coming home from hospital and I’m really struggling with the reality of it. I cry a lot and then poker face when family are around me. Feel very lonely so hoping this forum will help. I’m struggling with muscle aches from Letrozole and headaches from Herceptin does Anyone else have these symptoms ? Thanks xxx

You mention side effects of Letrozole. We have some info on this too here: Side effects of letrozole (Femara) | Breast Cancer Now
I hope you continue finding comfort and friendship on the forum.
