I’m tolerating Letrozole very well & my tumor is shrinking. Has anyone used this type of treatment with Letrozole only along with monitoring to shrink tumor enough so the cancer will not spread? Or has anyone used Letrozole along with another medication to aid in the shrinkage?

It's encouraging to hear that you're tolerating your treatment well and seeing positive results. Many patients in this community have shared experiences with hormone therapy approaches, both as standalone treatments and in combination with other therapies, so you're likely to find others who can relate to your journey. Each person's treatment path is unique based on their specific diagnosis and circumstances, so connecting with others here who've had similar experiences could provide valuable insights and support as you continue moving forward.

I have been on Letrozole for 8 years. My original diagnosis was Metastatic ILC. I have regular scans and all have shown no significant changes in the small tumors of the lung

I also had a double mastectomy at the time of diagnosis

MaryAnn. Good to hear lung lesions unchanged. Did you have mastectomy before you developed lung lesions? Or after you had known Mets?
