I just went off Letrazole after being on it for almost ten years. I'm having hot flashes and am cranky and now sad. It seems like menopause all over again! I wonder if anyone else has experienced this.

I am hoping you will get through this transition period soon. I did age more quickly than my peers because of years of endocrine therapy. I also feel like the year i finished, that accelerated a bit. Like you, the “sad” was a real problem. I attributed that to circumstances but looking back, it did get better after a period.
Please talk to your doctor about this, our primary care folks just don’t get it and after a while my oncologist just didn’t either. Sadly unless they have been through it, I don’t believe they can. It isn’t because they don’t care, they just don’t see it.
Are you seeing your oncologist again anytime soon? How are you dealing with the sadness?
