I’ve been on Letrozole for about 2 1/2 years. There has been an assortment of side effects. Many have dissipated on their own. I went to PT for about a year until the muscle and joint pain abated. I continue to walk, do strength training, and go to yoga weekly. my latest side effect is some bone density loss. I will start a semiannual shot for that in the next few months.

even with all the side effects, being cancer free is worth it. My sister has been on letrozole for longer than I, and she’s had very few side effects. Like most of the things in life, our bodies each react in different ways. I wish you well on your journey.

I would like to see more discussion on this topic. I started Letrozole in October 2024 and do experience some muscular and skeletal stiffness and pain. What about Zometa ? I am about to take my second infusion in April. No reaction to the first one six months ago.
