Re: Stopped Femara/Letrozole

Hello,
Sorry you're suffering. I was on Femara for 6 years but if I had known what I know now, I would have stayed on it for 10. I took it at night - my onc said I would have less side effects.
Are you exercising? going to a gym? yoga is good also for strengthening the body and focusing the mind. Socializing is also important and having something to do especially if it is helping others.
I would dare to suggest that if your onc suggests re-starting Femara that you consider it. Being alive is so much fun, I think the costs we pay to be here are worth it.
Due to radiation I had a heart attack and angioplasty and stent put in, a lung now has fibrosis and breathing is a problem particularly with walking uphill but I am so happy to be here.
Your life is in you hands and being pro-active is good. For me the treatments were heavy and had hard side effects but the price to live is worth paying.
health and happiness
sarah
