Hello everyone. My very early breast cancer was picked up at a routine mammogram back in January, so eight months ago. It was treated quickly and successfully and by July, my hospital treatment had all finished. I'm so grateful to my surgeon and life goes on once more. But now it's letrozole time and the joys of its side effects! Muscle aches have become the order of the day and if I do a lot of walking, it's usually followed by a really achey night. Resting my back against a supportive pillow helps and so does a nice warm bath. Then there's the weepies, which can be triggered by anything remotely negative happening. I'm wondering what other people do, to combat these side effects.
