Hello everyone,

I got diagnosed with Breast Cancer 2 years ago at the age of 45 and had a lumpectomy and radiotherapy.  I was also started on Tamoxifen.

I recently was put into surgical menopause due to another issue and was advised to change to Letrozole.  I have been on this for just over 3 weeks now and seem to have been pretty lucky in terms of side effects but i was just wondering if anyone else who is on this medication has experienced thw following symptoms which i seem to have gotten in the past week:

Vaginal itchiness, occasional smelly urine and occasional white thin discharge.  I have had tests for various other things it could be but they have all come back negative so at a bit of a loss and the only thing i can think of cusing this is the Letrozole.  

Would be good to hear if anyone else has experienced this and if so what helped.

Thank you fellow warriors.

    I'm Daisy53 one of the Community Champions on the breast cancer forum and the triple negative breast cancer forum and I help out here when I can.  While I don't have an answer for you I thought I'd reply to you to suggest that you join the Breast Cancer forum as well and put your question there as it's a busier forum than this one.

    Hope this improve for you soon.

    Best wishes
