Letrozole and breast pain

Hi I am in a similar position.  I finished radiotherapy in Feb 2020 after lump was removed in Nov 19.  I didn’t have chemo just hormone treatment for 5 years.  Three days ago I started to have bad pain below the scar which is almost under my arm at the top of my breast down to my nipple.  It is throbbing and I can’t touch anywhere that’s painful.  I am on Letrozole but have been since Jan 20.  This is the first pain of this sort.  I had a clear mammogram in Oct.  Should I be concerned or is this normal.  Thank you x

Hi sorry you are having pain and worries...I had a bilateral mastectomy chemo and radiotherapy... finished in December 2019 and have been on letrozole since.....I too get shoulder and neck pain which comes and goes. I get a burning pain.....I have follow up telephone consultations with my oncologist and asked for a scan as I have started to get very anxious about it as I was "signed" off by the surgeon. It makes you feel a bit stranded and when you get any pain you think the worst. I have a CT scan on the ,18th January....of course worried about going now and catching the virus...I am glad your scans were ok doesn't help with the pain which has to be down to the bloomin Letrozole...keep safe...all the best.

I can only assume that it’s the letrozole that’s to blame for the constant pain , my pain is more the right breast not the side of my mastectomy x

Hope you CT Scan comes back clear , it’s a constant worry x
