Has Anyone Been Prescribed Letrozole?

I’m on my second week on this medication. I take it at night along with two turmeric pills and a triple joint pain pill, and I’ve had no issues at all, thus far.

OK that's good to here me neither.

I too was diagnosed her2+ and triple positive. Had lumpectomy, chemo and radiation. Was prescribed Letrozole for 5 yrs but about 4 weeks into it, I wouldn’t handle the join pain . I could hardly get up and walk. Researched the options and asked to be switched to exemestane. I still have joint pain and stiffness but less severe than before. Please advocate for yourself. God bless and good luck.

Karen L, what do you take for the triple joint pain pill?

I would like to take turmeric supplements too but scared to because I read research that says turmeric might stimulate estrogen production in the body.

I am on that one now and I think it’s letrozole with zometa bone infusions every 6 months. When I have insurance coverage. That’s the problem in this economy no job no I surance.

I didn’t tolerate the Letrozole very well, had to take so much pain meds just to function. Dr switched me to Anastrozole, same side effects just a bit less.
