Had a mastectomy 5 weeks ago, was put on LETROZOLE 2.5mg been taking it for two weeks, I just don’t feel right since  I started  it. My legs are burning, my whole body is aching from head to toe. Anyone else experiencing these problems? 

  • Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community

    I'm sorry to read about how you've been feeling since taking Letrozole.

    As the community is divided up into cancer specific groups, could I recommend that you join the breast cancer group where you can ask questions, share experiences and get support from others who are living with this type of cancer.

    To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post questions after selecting 'start a discussion' and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.

  • Hi  and welcome to the Online Community, although I am sorry to see you finding us and so sorry to hear about your are having but I am sure that you will find the support in the Community very helpful.

    A cancer diagnosis can indeed bring a lot of confusion, stress and many questions but I found talking with people who were on the same type of journey helped a lot. 

    I see that you haven’t joined any of our support groups yet so can I direct you to our supportive find our Breast cancer group.

    Posting in this group will give you the opportunity to talk with people who know exactly what………. you are dealing with at the moment. 

    Follow the link I've created, join the group, then hit ‘start a discussion’ and you are ready to go.

    You could then copy and paste the information from this first post into your new discussion or you can just join in with existing ‘Discussions’ by clicking on 'reply'.

    Can I also highlight our various Macmillan Support Line Services on 0808 808 00 00. This service covers Emotional Support, Practical Information. Clinical Information, Financial Support and Work Guidance mostly open 8.00 to 8.00 but check the link but you may find the service very busy at the moment.

    Our Online Information and Support Section  is a good place to find information covering cancer diagnosis, treatments and pages covering most types of cancers.

    All the very best.
