Once I come off Letrozole will my weight return to normal ?

Living with secondary breast cancer Supporting each other and sharing experiences

I am 64 yrs old, had a DMX with 9 lymph nodes removed (2 were positive, the next 7 were clear), Chemo and radiation in 2018 for BC.   I’ve been on Letrozole for about 18 months and have kept gaining weight steadily all that time - approx 10k to date.   As I have both hips and one knee replaced I worry that all this extra weight may affect the long term life of my metal joints.  I’ve got a limited amount of hip replacements left as I’ve had the left done 3 times and the right one 2 times.   I’ve tried to be sensible about what I eat and don’t eat anything ‘bad’ to excess.  What I’d like to know is :-

Does anyone know if once I’m off Letrozole will my weight return to normal ? 

I’d say 90% of it is around my middle which is a notorious area anyway for trying to get weight off .

Thanks ladies :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi - do you have a secondary breast cancer diagnosis? Your post doesn’t say. You have posted your question in the secondary breast cancer area of the forum. X

When I came off Letrozole I lost all the weight I’d gained on it but unclear as to whether it was that or changing to Kadcyla
