@mun4o I think there is a need if people want to talk about it. This forum is for everyone. I’ve read many posts that seem negative but it is just people trying to get help and support. Less people comment on things going right as they are getting on with their lives and that’s great but it would be nice to hear some positive stories. When I have seen a positive story I have thanked them for posting.
I definitely don’t think this thread is about just being ‘natural ‘ and not following doctor’s advice. Many people can not tolerate hormone therapy and want to discuss it with others in the same situation.
I have found out so much on this forum and try to then help others in turn.
I have a post about Letrozole and it’s side effects that I keep updating. I tried it for a year but after having a break I have now swapped to Exemestane. My post has had thousands of views and many are also struggling with Letrozole. I noticed you have also posted on this thread.
I personally know a lady who had low grade breast cancer with surgery and radiotherapy and she stopped taking Letrozole after 3 months. She talked to her doctor’s and said her quality of life was more important than the percentages on the predict score. Her side effects for her were unbearable.
As with everything on this cancer journey we all come from different places and react differently to medications. We all have to do what is right for ourselves.
I think it is a little unfair to say some people have the ‘luxury’ of stopping Letrozole. If my side effects were unbearable and other drugs or brands do not work, then I would probably consider stopping AI’s even with two primary cancers. We all have a right to our opinions but not to judge others.
