My body couldn’t tolerate Ibrance we tried numerous times so now I’m just on letrozole. Anyone hear of that?

Many people in the breast cancer community have experience with letrozole as a standalone treatment, especially when combination therapies cause challenging side effects. Finding the right treatment approach that works for your body is really important, and it sounds like you and your medical team are working together to find what's best for you. Others here may have similar experiences to share, and connecting with fellow patients who understand these treatment decisions can be really valuable.

Hi I am on Letrozole. The only problem I have is blisters in my mouth and sometimes pain in my legs otherwise it’s ok. Good luck

I’m on LETROZOLE and Ibrance. But Ibrance causes my white platelets to drop very low (1.30). I have to have labs every two weeks. Also, I’ve started having hot flashes and read others on Letrozole are having hot flashes. What can be done to stop these?

I was on ibrance twice and platelets fell so low both times that they took me off. I am only on letrozole now. I was ok with ibrance other than platelets. I just wasn’t sure if anyone was on letrozole alone. It feels like I should be on something with it.

I stopped Letrozole. Not on any treatment. Feel great! I could not sleep on Letrozole and was in pain all the time. Quality of life matters!
