Pain related to Letrozole
I have been taking Letrozole for about 4 months now and am experiencing increasing pain in the joints. I am not sure if the pain is related to the medication or just because I am overweight and don't get as much physical exercise as I should. Can it take several months for the pain to kick in? I have had hot flashes,…

Was your breast lump painful?
Just curious how many people out there had a lump that was painful that ended up being breast cancer. The reason I found my lump is because I had pain.
