Zoladex and Letrozole

Hi, whilst I am on letrozole, I'm not on zoladex, so not quite the experience you are looking for. I find letrozole quite tolerable as long as I do sufficient walking to keep my joints free from getting stiff and sore. Best wishes 

Hi, thanks so much for this. It's reassuring as I love to walk a few miles every day so I'm hoping this helps me out with the new treatment. 

Hi! I’ve been having Zoladex injections for nearly a year now along side taking Exemestane (another AI similar to Letrozole. It will put your body into a medical menopause so expect hot flushes. I have struggled a lot with joint pain, particularly first thing in the morning. Once I’m up and about things feel a lot better.  Keep up the regular walking and eating well and fingers crossed all will be well. I’m 46 so a similar age to you xxxx

I take letrozole and have zoladex implant.  Hot flashes were quite regular for first month, now probably nearly 2 months on letrozole but 4 months worth of zoladex, I have less frequent night sweats and mild joint pain that settles with paracetamol.  :)    I’m back at the gym ( although I’m still having a targeted therapy, I don’t feel that these 2 drugs are too bad to manage) 

Thanks very much for this. Hopefully I'll find it manageable then, I hope you're doing OK xx

Thanks very much for this. It's good to hear it settles down, I found that with the Tamoxifen. I'm glad you're managing, hope you're doing OK x
