I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer with a high oncogene score. I finished chemo and surgery and am now on letrozole and Kisquali (been about 6 weeks).

Hard to know how to try and fix something when you…

Started with 400mg (1 cycle), and finished the second cycle last week taking 200mg. On my second day of the off week I started…
is it normal to not be able to sleep on the side that had surgery and radiation about a year ago? Feels like a big bruise that has been getting worse over the past year after treatment. Just being paranoid,
