Hi I'm new to letrazol,
I'm 37 had all my treatment last year , been on leuprorelin since last march .
I started on exmesatane last oct , got completely wiped out on it after a few months, by 4 and a bit months I was empty inside, so exhausted & had to come off of it .
Started letrazol 3 weeks ago, was ok but then I had my leuprorelin shot & I felt so I'll, heavy bladder, just sore , psin in abdomen for like 2 weeks,
Been told by breast care nurse/ doctor Saud not normal side effects.
Not sure if it's the lactose I took enzymes but whether they work or not I duno.
I'm having a two week break,
Heavy bladder is better .
Got a chat with oncologist on the 13 .
Got a trapped nerve currently in leg/ bum / hip which is sore,
Has anyone ever had severe side effects, or am I just a random that just don't get on well with meds.
Thanks
Hi Etna
Sorry to hear about the side effects you are having. While I haven’t had severe side effects I noticed that you haven’t had any answers yet so I thought I’d reply to you,to put you to the top of the discussion. Hopefully someone will be along shortly with the experience you are looking for.
Best wishes

Hi etna. I take letrozole and do get lots of side effects, but haven't had any bladder issues. Lots of bone and muscle pain, hot flushes and headache. I would mention the bladder pain to your consultant when you see them. I'm sure they'll be able to confirm and advise. Take care
