Is Letrozole causing severe side effects after just two days?

Hi Trudy, the hot flashes are the worst! I think my body is starting to adjust to the Anastrozole that I'm taking, and I have been getting less hot flashes. I'm in my 4th month now of taking the pill daily before bed. You can try to give your pill a chance to work and see if your side effects get better with time. Make note of your side effects and let your doctor know at your next appointment. If the side effects are too much to tolerate, maybe there is an alternative.

After breast surgery in April.... I got a seroma which is a fluid filled sac where the breast tissue was. I had it drained twice but that was short lived, now it's back with a vengeance and very painful. The oncologist wants to drain again but the surgeon says no. Has anyone ever had this problem? I can't even sleep on my left side. I've tried hot compresses, heating pad, warm baths.....but nothing helps! Any suggestions?
