Following a lumpectomy and radiotherapy I have been on Letrozole for the past 18 months.
i was told iLetrozole could cause aches and pains. Initially I seemed to cope well but then I developed really achy feet and legs. I went to my doctor who did blood tests, I also called my breast care nurse who suggested trying different brands.
My blood tests showed I was very deficient in Vitamin D so after taking supplements and doing research my pains have all but disappeared.
So for anyone struggling can I suggest getting your vitamin D levels checked.
