I'll be 5years post diagnosis and would love to talk to others at the same sort of stage as me. I'm still on Tamoxifen but having problems with worry and forgetfulness etc. Is this normal?

  • Hi ,

    I’m not yet that far on (2018) but identify with the worry and forgetfulness! I put some of that (forgetfulness) down to Letrozole plus also being on statins. But I suspect the worry is part and parcel of all you’ve (we’ve) been through

    Hi

    Not so much the worry aspect but J often stops mid sentence because the word she wants has slipped behind the letrozole brain fog Hugging

    Does that bother her, no way - after a pause she just slips in an alternative word or one she made up and has us all in stitches.

    As long as it is cancer treatment related and not dementia we can live with that Thumbsup

    Hugs, G n' J

  • Hi again, 

    I never had that wonderful a memory, my mother used to call it a forgettory! So I suspect I’ve got no chance! 

    Hugs xxx

    I have been on letrozole since August and have the same problem,  perhaps it is the Letrozole and not just age! But if that’s the only side effect I’m happy, just fed up with people trying to help with what I’m saying !
