Letrozole and checking estrogen levels

Hi….I wondered the same thing about the full dose vs a smaller dose. I’ve looked up some studies that show taking Letrozole every other day is pretty much the same and helps reduce the toxicity of side effects. There are some women already doing this with the blessings of their oncos. The latest article was in Pubnet. Planning on asking to go that route.

@mandy75 I would love to see any studies. My doc told me I could alternate days but I never did. I totally believe effectiveness is the same (given that 20% is effective and half life allows for that in the day not taken). But I would like to see a study showing that side effects are less.
