Update: Soy and Letrozole
Although the pain from taking only 3 doses of Letrozole was getting better after 3 weeks, all at once I had horrible stabbing pains on my arms, neck, more neuropathy, and numbness. It was so bad it kept me up all night. I recently became a vegan and had just switched to soy milk and for the first time, had tofu for 2 nights in a row. (Studies have show that women who eat soy have lower rates of cancer and it's about the only food that helps with triple negative breast cancer which I hav3). Since that was the only significant change I had made in the last 2 days, I googled soy and letrozole and a study was done on taking them together. Bottom line was DON"T TAKE THEM TOGETHER!!

I wonder of the reason for avoiding soy is because it purportedly (I keep finding conflicting medical opinions) is estrogenic. Since letrozole is taken to block estrogen production, taking the two together could be counter-productive.
