Welcome, @risagee. Have you had a chance to tell your team about the migraines and visual disturbances? How are you doing?

Thank you, @colleenyoung!
Yes, I told my team - they said it’s not likely to be a side effect but that I should see a neurologist. I had an appointment with a neuro-ophthalmologist and because my “auras” were all in the same area of my field of vision, he has ordered a brain MRI and MRA — just to make sure the Letrozole isn’t causing blood coagulation 😞. Better safe than sorry, I know, but a little anxious. Oncologist’s office also wants a copy of the results to check for any possible metastases (though unlikely, I think). I have a feeling the ocular migraines are a result of my 7 weeks of estrogen suppression, so a hormonal effect.
Anyway, keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best!
Thanks so much for checking in with me!
