Letrozole and hot flushes

Can you get sage in tablet form?

yes there are loads of different brands, ensure they are just sage, i have looked into this before and you cannot band any for example menoforce because this can interfere with our medication.   

Thanks - that's very helpful - I will have a look.

I got mine from Holland and Barrett.

I am 2 months in , same as you sometimes I can’t string a sentence together, also I feel dizzy most of the time , and  when walking I feel like I have drunk two bottles of wine , made me really anxious and Nervous to to walk or drive far , I tried sage helped a bit with flushes , so spoke to cancer nurse and she has referred me back to surgeon to try different tablets , hopefully they will suit me better , was frightened to not take any in case cancer comes back , xx

Hello, I’ve been on letrozole for 5 months. I also experienced very severe hot flushes & sweats.

I asked my oncologist to help and she prescribed oxybutynin - it has honestly been life changing. No more sweats - I still get a bit hot but it’s gone down to just a few times per day / night. The side effect I’ve experienced is dry mouth but I can cope with that much better than the horrendous sweats! It may be worth asking your oncologist about this. 

I've literally just changed to Anastrozole and I've started taking it at night too instead of day. On letrozole the flashes were unbearable yet my skin felt cold. I get that eet if I do anything  that i look like ive just got out of shower and put my clothes straight on. Tonight will be night 5 how long do I have before I notice any difference if any. I try to eat better but I'm constantly tired and seem to feel ill most of the time, catching everything that's going about. Feel like I don't have a life. Also in the last day or two I have a severe pain in my rib under my left breast, which is were they removed the lump from. What could this be?? Just don't feel like me anymore

 Please foes anyone have any advice
