Re: Generic Anastrozole

Hi Morgan. My pharmacy also switched me from Femara to Letrozole because now my insurance wants to pay for the generic brand. I was a little concerned too because I was so used to taking the Femara I also wondered "will it work as well" my oncologist and the oncology pharmacist at my hospital said no problem does the same thing. By the way cant wait for the wedding. I will be up here at 5:30 a.m. I was in England when Charles and Diana were married. My sister and I slept on the sidewalk to get a good view of the procession when they went by in their carriages. Oh the foolish things we do in our youth. What a blast we had though. Anyway my darling do not fret and keep positive. Best wishes from Toronto Lois
