I've been on letrozole for about 4 months. Recent,  I've been urinating large volumes. I mean, large. Has anyone else had this experience? There's no other major side effects.

  • Hi it was 5/6  years ago that my cancer treatment chemo/mastectomy finished and I began letrozole. I was also on Herceptin injections. I can't remember at what stage it happened, in my head I related it to chemo but  anyway I lost the content of my bladder in the street. This happened a few times it must have been at a point when I was post chemo that I went to my GP. I was immediately referred to urology who did a very thorough  examination. I had to measure my urination amounts for a few days, I was referred also to a specialist physiotherapist who was excellent and also to a gynaecologist (as I had a slight prolapse). Nothing sinister was found but I was given medication  and although I still need to urinate about 12 times a day. I have not lost the content of my bladder  except when sitting on the loo. I was told to avoid caffeine, up my pelvic floor exercises and lose weight (what a joke when on an aromatase inhibitor such as letrozole or the medicine I changed exemestane,)

    Different from you but my message is go to your GP and ask for a check up with urology x

    Good luck with your on going recovery x
