Hi
Was just searching the forum as gaining weight and came across your post ! I was diagnosed on the 2nd January this year and have been on letrozole ever since ! I have had three operations and radiotherapy ! I am feeling so down about the weight gain! I do try and eat healthily , we all have bad days but generally my diet hasn’t changed but the weight has !
How are you doing now ? Have you had any advice ? I am hoping to get some from my consultant when I see her next !
Hope all going ok with your recovery,
big hugs
love Philippa x
Hi daylighdancer, I started off well on Letrozole, then after a year I was hit with awful joint pains. I had a rest for a month, went back on and really motored along. After another year, suddenly the hip, knee and ankle joint were just awful, but I’ve had a lovely steroid injection which seems to have sorted it. Yes, puffy ankles if I don’t exercise, but I’ve joined a gym and swim, which counteracts that. Hoping some weight will also come off as I’ve piled it on. ? What can I say? You are not alone. ?
