Hi Everyone,
I'm coming up to my 10th year of taking Letrozole which will hopefully be the end of my cancer experience.
However, I saw a study that suggested hormone blockers cause potential cancer cells to hibernate rather than eradicate them. I would like to know what you guys may have experienced and how you have felt about finishing your medication? For interest I'll be 58 this year!!!!
I feel a bit anxious about not taking Letrozole moving forward - which I never thought I'd say :-) Is it even an option to continue to take it long term?
Thanks X
Did you have this prescribed for oestrogen receptor breast cancer may I ask ?
