Letrozole, relexology and feet.

Hi , I’d be happy with snow, I can’t bear this hot weather. Enough already it should be turning autumnal by now in my book! I’m on nasty tabs (anastrozole) and take it first thing in the morning. I followed someone else’s advice, the reasoning being that any side effects might be easier to bear during the day with more distractions and movement. When do you take yours?

When I was on holiday recently I had to take it in the afternoon/ early evening because of time zones. Interestingly I suffered much worse night sweats - I put it down to the heat there (though it was actually hotter here during the last heatwave) but maybe it was the time of taking the nasty tab! I also had horrible leg pain one night although only once. Re duvets I can’t bear anything above 4.5 tog atm and probably will stick with it till well into September. 

Re reflexology, I had it at a Macmillan centre during my radiotherapy. I love reflexology anyway so it was a real treat. But I’d now always go to a therapist who is used to treating cancer patients because I think there are some issues re stimulating our lymphatic systems? So I’d check with your reflexologist first. I don’t know about the surgery. What about posting in Ask a Nurse?

Good luck with it all, cooler weather I think by end of week thank goodness!! HFxx
