Hi Helzie, yes l was on letrozole pre surgery to try to shrink the lump but had the lumpectomy after about four months as it wasn't shrinking as quickly as my consultant wished. I have just collected my latest prescription and it is Activis instead of Accord (which I have been on since the beginning). I believe it is quite a good make. I hope so. I will keep you posted ladies!

I have been on letrozole for a year now and had a lumpectomy last July and radiotherapy in October/November. At first l didn't really suffer any side effects except fatigue and a few aches. However, for the past few months my insomnia has got worse (it's something l have suffered from for some years). I have had hot flushes ever since coming off HRT but these too have got worse. I am currently on Accord and am wondering if another brand would suit me better or whether these problems may improve with time. I would welcome any advice or comments.

Hi all, l have been on letrozole for a year now and at first suffered few side effects apart from being a little achy and being a bit more tired. I then had a lumpectomy in July and and four weeks of radiotherapy in October/November. I already had a few hot flushes after coming off HRT and also suffered from insomnia however in the last few months both have got worse. I am just wondering if switchingredients to another brand of letrozole might help. I am currently on Accord. Has anyone got any advice or comments?
