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'.

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.
