Hi. I'm due to go abroad on holiday and didn't want to start chemotherapy until after I come back. Which has been booked 6 months ago.
Oncologist agreed at first and then said I need to start taking letrozole now to give me some protection.as I have a complicated diagnosis of different types of cancer. I don't want to have side effect or be ill while I'm away. The Oncologist said it was my decision as to whether i take them or not.
Any advice would be helpful.
