Does anyone who's on Letrozole experience interrupted sleeping patterns? I've been taking Let. for six months now and lately, I've been waking up at night, then taking ages to get back to sleep. This is happening quite a lot and it's having an impact...
Hello. I was just wondering when you all first started your Zoldronic acid? I have finished chemo now and the chemo nurse said I would return in 6 months time for it. I thought it would be as soon as I sent the form we need signing from the dentist and...
I’m really struggling right now on Exemestane. Letrozole caused immediate intense headaches and it was stopped after only 5 days. I had a few weeks break then started Exemestane 8 months ago. At first, all I had was hot flushes & that didn’t really bother...
Hi. I finished EC chemo last Monday and have an awful annoying dry tickly cough that keeps me up at night. Just wondered whether anyone else got the same? And if so how long did it last/how did you get rid of it? I know it’s a very drying drug so thinking...

I’m hoping to get some advice on the next stage of my treatment. I was diagnosed with HER+ breast cancer last May. I had 7 rounds of chemo, which totally got rid of the tumour. I then had a lumpectomy and 4 lymph nodes removed. 2 lymph nodes had residual...
So, for those who read previous posts, which were perhaps incorrectly titled ( no treatment, I couldn’t amend, I really meant no chemo) I have stayed with my decision to refuse chemo. I am lucky in that cancer hasn’t spread to lymph nodes and didn’t...
