Hello
Does anyone know if it safe to take a magnesium supplement following breast cancer or will it interfere with the letrozole meds I am taking?
Kind Regards
Hi CJW and welcome to the Online Community although I am sorry to see you joining us.
This is a question you should be asking your clinical team but you could put your question to our Cancer Nurse team in our Ask an Expert section but do allow a few working days for a reply.
When it comes to support there is nothing better than talking with others who are on the exact same cancer and treatment journey.
The Community is divided into support groups (discussion rooms) so can I suggest that you consider joining our supportive Breast cancer group. This is a safe place to talk to others who may have a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support.
If you'd like to connect in with a group click on the Green (Bold) link I have created above. Once the group page opens click on the black banner that says [click to join] at the bottom, or the [Join] button under "Group tools."
You can then introduce yourself by putting up a ‘new post’ by clicking in the box near the top right with + New or + (Depending on the device you are using) and you are ready to go. You could copy and paste the text from this post into your new post.
Do get back to me if you need further help.
All the very best.
