  • Hi  

    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

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
