Had both Letrozole & Tamoxifen & likewise very different experiences but both really bad.
Tamoxifen caused significant head & eye pain & effected my vision plus the more usual menopause probs. As the head & sight problems got progressively worse I was taken off the Tamoxifen after only a two weeks. I was told these were rare sidc effects & the drug obviously was causing these extreme issues. I stopped & within 2days ALL the side effects went.
Next I was put on Letrozole & within a hour if taking I was having problems.
I preserved as I was told I had to stay on these.
3 days later I could barely get out of bed or function.
I stuck.with it & progressively felt like my brain was shutting down.
I asked you come off it & blankly told no. Give it more time.
I continued & literally felt like I was suffering dementia.
I decided to stop for a day & see what happened. I immediately felt a bit better & so stopped for 3 days & rhgn felt back to normal.
My breast care surgeon was frantic & aside I had to go back on them. So I did & so the brain cells feeling of deteriation & lack of cognitive function just daily git worse & worse.
I stopped driving as I was totally unable to. I stopped most daily activities as I could barely look after my self & eventually decided to stop the tables.
This is were I am now.
Do I have no QUALITY OF LIFE by tsking Letrozole or refuse the tablets & risk Cancer returning which could take my life ???
