I am 5 days in without my letrozole. Advised to take 3 weeks break due to joint and muscle pain to see if pain gets less.
problem is, why am I getting more hot flashes since stopping it? I’m getting about 5 or 6 a day. When I was on it ( 8 months) I was only getting one every other day
can anyone put me right ?
Maybe the slight additional oestrogen in your body has upset the balance again so now your body is trying to get used to have some..
It will be interesting to see what others say that have come off it permanently following completion of their treatment.
