Hi all
i was diagnosed 3 months ago with bc grade 2 and put on Letrozole and have my first follow up next Monday.
I have been ok-ish but feel I’ve been left in a kind of limbo. Obviously still shocked by the diagnoses
On Monday we went rock pooling with my grandson. The beach was quite uneven and we had to walk across big boulders. However I became very dizzy and literally unable to walk. I kept sitting down and my daughter was supporting me. If she left go I kind of fell backwards and felt my legs wouldn’t support me. This has never happened before. I ended up crying and felt nauseous and helpless. Daughter and partner eventually got me back to the car. I have never felt so ill in my life and never want to feel like that again! We think it may have been a panic attack (I’ve never had one before) so don’t know
my question is, can Letrozole have caused this or the cancer itself? Has anyone else had anything like this?
