Hi everyone, I'm new to the group, thanks for accepting me.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in July 2024, a week after my mum passed away suddenly. Its been a very difficult 6mths but I'm now post mastectomy. I was meant to be having chemo but when they put the first drug in i went into anaphylaxic shock so wasnt able to have it. I'm now trying to navigate all the terrible side effects from Letrozole. I'm currently having a 6wk break from it to see if the sode effecrs  subside, especially the bone, joint and muscle pain. The doctor thinks I may have developed arthritis too so checking if it's the drug or arthritis. Does anyone else suffer these side effects on Letrozole? Just wondering what you do to help with the pain? I'm on 30mg codeine, heat wraps and ibuprofen gel. Welcome any other suggestions. Thanks so much x
