Hi, sorry but looking for some advice please, I’m 6 months post surgery, a lumpectomy and 5 courses of radiotherapy but my breast is starting to feel very painful, bones really aching and developed a dry cough mainly at night, is this normal? I have tried without success to get a doctors appointment but its almost a 3 week wait, I’m at a lose so any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Yes, I started taking letrozole at the same time as my radiotherapy which was
accord i I seemed ok on it but they have changed the brand so not sure if that has anything to do with it, and no I haven’t spoke to my breast care nurse, thought I was signed off with them after my op and radiotherapy
Thanks, I was sure I had read that to, my only problem is that since COVID prescriptions can’t be picked up from the surgery they are automatically sent to the chemists, I’ll just have to ask the next time my prescription is due if they can state Accord only.
thank you xx
