I have triple positive BC, have done 12 x TCHP, surgery, radiation and now on Kadcyla. I started Letrozole 2 weeks ago and my main side effect is that I want to cry all the time. I feel so emotional, have got low mood and feel really resentful that my friends just “don’t get it”. Will these feelings settle with time as my body gets used to a dramatic drop in Oestrogen or am I likely to need to speak to the GP for something to help? Any advice would really be appreciated.
Hi Bonnie3351 hopefully these feelings will ease, your body does get used to the lowering oestrogen levels but please don’t suffer in silence, if you feel the need to talk then please do phone the helpline , 0808 808 0000 and speak to one of the nurses on there.
