Me too I went from anastrazole to letrozole and I have it in my hands and feet . Don’t know what the other person is talking about that these drugs don’t cause neuropathy . I a lepectomy and radiation no chemo

I am 2 years after lumpectomy and radiation. At 18 months, I out of nowhere developed neuropathy. Have had all the tests with no cause. I went off of Anastrozole for 4 weeks. I didn't think it made a difference. Once I started back up, the pain was so intense. I will make an appt. with oncologist. I assume it will come down too if I want to take the medication or not. I don't like this quality of life but will stress everyday about the cancer returning. I am 66 and had a full hysterectomy 20 years ago. I can't believe I have an estrogen in my body. Was your doctor not concerned about you not taking the estrogen blocker or did he/she leave that up to you?
