I have 2 tumours and my surgeon wants to shrink them as surgery now would be "too tricky". I've just started Letrozole for 3 weeks, then combine it with something beginning with P, then Chemo then Mastectomy and lymph nodes removal. She won't discuss what happens then as I am overwhelmed as I'm in a bit of a mess with large tumours. Im a 44 E and it's all got to come off, so just one breast will remain. Can anyone give me advice on Letrozole and how to prepare for this...diet, tips for skin etc?
Thanks I struggle navigating this site, not sure why?!! Sending love
to all ladies
Hi
I' sorry to read that you're finding our cancer diagnosis overwhelming but I think you'll find lots of people have exactly the same reaction as you at the start.
I hope you don't mind me suggesting that you also post these questions in the breast cancer group, which I can see you've posted in before, as you're more likely to find others who have had a similar diagnosis to yourself. If you'd like to do this then clicking on the link I've created will take you straight there where you can start anew post in the same way as you posted here. To save you typing this out again just copy and paste it into your new post.
I'm sorry to read that you're struggling to navigate this site. When you first log on, scroll down the page and you should see a list of the groups you have joined. Then click on 'breast cancer group' and it will take you to that group. I hope that helps.
