I’m taking letrozole, now in 7th month pre/lumpectomy surgery in March. But the tiredness is getting to me, along with overall fatigue and anxiety knowing this is going to be a long time (5-10 years post surgery). Further, I have had this breast lump over two years but was told “nothing to worry about”—until it WAS . So angry with the medical staff I went to during all this as it was not diagnosed until I saw a gynecologist who pursued the lump then my life was in a tailspin with numerous tests and biopsies. Was told “mastectomy” but switched to oncologist who said I could take the letrozole 6-9 months then have lumpectomy. Now being told if pathology report requires more “removal “, it could still result in a mastectomy. So I am continuing to take the letrozole until 9 month mark in hopes tumor will continue to shrink and lumpectomy will suffice. I’m going to be hugely disappointed if it becomes a more aggressive surgery and an ensuing mastectomy is needed. Anyone else have similar experience? And any side effects from the letrozole? Dreading the thought of having to take it for several years… Maybe the every-other-day would help (?) and will be asking about that—or just taking my chances w/o any drugs since I’m turning 79 soon.
