Letrozole side effects
Letrozole side effects My mum was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer 10 years ago, and treatment was thankfully successful.
Since then she’s been on Tamoxifen with no major problems.
However 10 days ago she transferred onto Letrozole, and has been suffering with various side effects ever since, to the point she’s considering coming off it. She has had far more hot flushes and swellings (which have been reported, but not acted on), etc. But the main problem is it’s causing depression each morning, which “switches off” around the same time each day, plus she said she feels really angry and moody (very unlike her natural character). It’s making her life miserable.
Has anyone else been in a similar situation, and can anyone shed a little hope that the side effects might settle down?
I’m really reluctant for her to come off it totally, due to the improved life expecancy.
