Had a dexa bone scan today after taking Letrozole for 3months so far. Was told the results would take about ten weeks. Is this normal? 

  • Hi  

    I guess it just depends when the experts at the hospital are able to review the scans.  It's not an urgent scan, so I wouldn't worry about the delay in the results.  

    If you haven't been prescribed them, ask your doctor for calcium and vitamin D tablets (iCalVitD) as these will support your bones as the Letrozole reduces the oestrogen in your body,

    Best wishes,
