I was diagnosed with ER positive cancer on 31st March, and was prescribed Letrozole. When I told my husband, he didn't say much at all, apart from 'oh bloody hell', and 'well it can't be that bad if they've sent you home with tablets'. He seems to think that because I'm not having chemo, it's just a formality of taking the pills then it goes away. When I've told friends and extended family, they have all been really concerned.

Am I over-estimating how serious it is?
