Good morning everyone.
yesterday I had a consultation with my oncologist and found out what is happening next. I will have 15 days radiotherapy which I felt it was good news. No chemotherapy!!! And also prescribed Letrozole to prevent breast cancer cells to spread to other parts of the body.
Today I am starting to take this pill once a day for the next 10 years!!!!
I am trying to accept this new little ‘friend’ which is becoming part of my life for a long time!!!
I wonder if any of you can share both your experiences with Letrozole and/or radiotherapy.
Is Aloa vera good to use as a moisturiser? And can you suggest a reliable make?
Thank you.
I was diagnosed in November 2023 and had a lumpectomy in December 2023. After the operation I had radiotherapy and am now on Letrozole for ten years, it is part of my daily routine I take one each morning, I have had no side effects whatsoever. I also have a Zolidonic acid injection every six months without side effects. I do hope this helps and good luck with your treatment. From Brighton
