Half and quarter doses of letrozole
I quit the letrozole because of the horrible sise effects. Exemestane was awful and lost 3/4 of my hair and had to use a walker to get around. I started the baby Tam (tamoxifen)and had to quit after 3 weeks the side effects were so bad. I then started the 1/4 tab of letrozole and the side effects were tolerable so I tried a half tab every other day, but the side effects became too intolerable. My oncologist isn't happy with me! I wonder why one dose for everyone? Anyway, this is what I'm gona stick with.

Hi again @gbobbe. We just wanted to check in with you as we haven't seen much of you since your first post. We hope you've found some relief from the side effects or talked to your doctor about possible switching to another aromatase inhibitor.
Please keep us posted with how you're doing. We're thinking of you!
