Hello I have Ovarian cancer and I am in my second lot of chemotherapy following major surgery a year ago following this op I went into the menopause hot/cold sweats I have reduced mobility and stiffness in my joints and of course its difficult to know what is really attributing to my mobility condition with all the various medications i need to take My observations are that when on the steroid after chemo my mobility and stiffness is greatly reduced I wonder if the accord letrozole is really the problem and was looking at whether an alternative could be found in alternative or complimentary treatments also wondered the same about whether a steroid alternative might be available I was interested to read about Fermara and will look into this as an alternative to Letrozole I did go on a gut/health diet which really made a difference and am considering trying this again albeit very restricting I do walk and do Pilates of a sort I guess i am looking for an alternative to letrozole and complimentary that would give the same benefits as a steroid a big ask
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
I'm sorry to read about the problems you have experienced while on treatment for ovarian cancer. I can't help with your questions but I noticed that you hadn't had any responses yet. Replying to you will 'bump' your post back to the top of the discussions list where it'll hopefully be seen by someone who has the experience you're after.
I can see that you also posted this question in the breast cancer group and I don't know if you're aware that you've had a couple of replies. If you haven't seen them clicking here will take you straight there.
Macmillan have this section on complementary therapies which you might like to take a look through which includes a link to a booklet that you can either download or order to be sent to you through the post.
When you have a minute, it would be great if you could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
I hope you're able to find something that helps.
