I've been taking Sun Pharmaceutical Letrozole every morning since end of January 2022, 2.5mg and quickly felt more tired than usual. My left hip weakened and became really painful, to the point that I had to think about how I could get up from bending down - before attempting it. To the point that over the following few months I had to walk up/down steps/stairs one-by-one! March 2022 I also began taking Palbociclib 3 weeks out of every 4 weeks and didn't notice any other side-effects. By now my side-effects consisted of constant hot flushes - I ordered a neck fan which has saved my life!! - very painful left hip, feeling pretty exhausted at times but have been able to have a nap when needed as I retired on 1st April 2022! July 2022 my PET scan unexpectedly showed no active cancer cells anywhere in my body and my Oncologist told me I am in remission - something I didn't expect to hear at all! A blessing I didn't expect to receive but accept it gratefully with thanks. For now my breast cancer is dormant, but I remain conscious it's unlikely to always be that way so take each day as it comes. I continue with the Letrozole and Palbociclib as the combination has worked miracles and for as long as it continues to work. Here's why I wanted to post this today ... the pain in my hip. I read here somewhere a while back the suggestion to try taking Letrozole during the evening instead of the morning. Almost a month ago now I decided to give it a go and I begain taking my Letrozole during the evening. I genuinely can report today that I no longer have the painful left hip and I am able to walk up/down steps/stairs normally and I just wanted to share this with you all, because there will be somebody out there who will read this, make the change and it will change their lives, as it has mine. Good luck to you all ... stay strong, stay positive, stay hopeful. Much love xxJanxx
