@cookercooker, I'm tagging fellow members like @slanepac2024 @doshi @tbkomparda @crowleykid @cjacobs99 who have experience with letrozole (Femara) for endometrial cancer.

Cooker, how are you doing? Has the bleeding stopped?

@cookercooker
I am in a clinical trial and the two drugs are letrozole and verzenio (abimacyclib). They feel that my tumor was estrogen based so they gave me two breast cancer drugs and the tumor went away for the 2nd time. I did not have any issues with letrozole but the verzenio affected my kidneys (GFR). We now think it might be affecting the prednisone which is trying to get rid of the organizing pneumonia. I have had the pneumonia for 16 months & I believe I it got from the immunotherapy drug keytruda (pembrolizumab).
I hope this information is helpful to you.

no it hasn't. I don't know where it is coming from - urethra or vagina. It's been 21 days now:( Had an MRI the other day and am anxiously awaiting the results. In the meantime, no one at the cancer agency (oncologist or GYN, hasn't provided any relief or direction as to what I should do.

Thanks Colleen,
I have received helpful comments since you tagged fellow members.
No, the bleeding hasn't stopped and I don''t know what to do about it. Had an MRI the other to address pelvic pain. Still waiting for the results. Otherwise I feel fine. Go figure.
