Hi Tes438
am so sorry to read you are in so much pain.
I have posted a link in other current threads about anastrozole to an online talk about AIs hosted by breast cancer now. There are also a few threads on that forum about hormone therapy that you might find helpful.
You could also talk to your breast cancer nurse / oncologist as they may recommend switching to a different medication - there are options so don’t despair! Am sure other people on here will have some advice too.
Hope you feel better soon x
Funnily enough, I have been on Letrazole for about 10 days now, thankfully with no side effects. However for the past couple of days my ankles have been sort of burning and a bit stiff. I had put it down to sitting out in the sun quite a bit, but now wonder if that is due to the Letrazole....
Hi,
I’ve been on zoladex and letrozole for around 6 weeks and can’t believe how painful all my joints are.
I have a thyroid condition that causes pain but this is so much worse than that has ever been
I finish Phesgo injections soon and was hoping that it would be the end of all the suffering but it seems we still have to put up with more
