Letrozole side effects and timing?

Hello,
I have been on Letrozole for a couple of months now. I haven't experienced any major side effects however I just went in for my physical and my liver enzymes are elevated. Has anyone else experienced this? Thank you, Corey

I had elevated ALT and AST enzymes within a month of taking anastrozole, and an MRI and CT scan showed a drug induced liver injury. I was then put on letrozole, and my enzymes have been in the normal range or only slightly elevated. Letrozole is not as hard on the liver as anastrozole. My oncologist said that aromatase inhibitors don't usually cause elevated liver enzymes, but I am hearing of more and more breast cancer patients talk about elevated liver enzymes. I wish you the best!

@ccc1965 I think your oncologist will keep watching your liver. I haven’t experienced this but I was told that they will watch for impacts. Maybe your body is adjusting? I would call your oncologist and personal doctor and discuss it with them. Good luck to you!
