Letrozole later onset side effects

@charlesgreenberg I was on Verzenio but could not keep it down. At $8,400 a month throwing it up was not acceptable. Now on Kisqali and still getting use to it. I was on Anastrozole and had wild mental swings. Now on Letrozole. Trying to manage and get the right mix is a full time job. I am very honest with my care team - which are wonderful. I find that the medication can be more difficult than active treatment. Best wishes.

Oh my how true that the aromatase inhibitors can be more difficult than actual treatment! I hope what you have now will work for you!!!
After double lumpectomy, chemo and radiation I then started Letrizol. Oh my body aches, joint pain so difficult. So I switched to exemestane…. getting off of that! Gastrointestinal problems galore! I’m going back to Letrizol. I will take joint pain over joint pain and constant diarrhea anytime!
But I have another 8.5 years on hormone blocking drugs so we shall see. You take good care, thinking of you!! xoxo

@ccc1965 I was initially on anastrazole, and switched to letrozole. I agree 100% about the medications being more difficult than active treatment. It is unrelenting with side effects and last for so many years. Stay strong!
