For Breast Cancer "Male had breast cancer removed. Lymph nodes clear, but started on this after I had a bad MRI for an eye issue. Started taking letrozole as insurance. Recently have been having more brain fog, unexplained black eye, yellow bruises on legs, and one on my arm. Will probably stop taking. Also just diagnosed with glaucoma like someone else here. Good luck. It seems this drug works for many, and doesn't fit for a lot too. Make up your own mind for what is best for you. Good luck."

For Breast Cancer, Adjuvant "Bone pain, trigger fingers, joint pain, hip pain, wrists/thumbs repeated tendonitis, low energy. From anastrozole to letrozole, issues persist, worse over time. Still on it, but had to stop working. Managing to stay on as benefit outweighs risk."

For Female Infertility "I used Femara in March 2021 after TTC for 7 years. After the first cycle, I got pregnant. Then, sadly, I had a miscarriage at 10 weeks. Currently on my 2nd cycle, and my period is due tomorrow. Will wait another week before I take a test. Good luck to all of us."

For Breast Cancer "Took Femara for 2 years+. Just saw my oncologist recently, and she asked about the joint pain. It has been awful, my joint and muscle pain is excruciating sometimes. I am a young 61 who felt 85. No more snow skiing. Could barely get out of bed many days. My oncologist suggested I take a week off of it, and if it improved the pain, she would prescribe Aromasin. Sure enough, pain all gone, and now I have been on Aromasin a week. Fingers crossed!"

"I finished IV chemo in April for Stage III ovarian cancer metastasized to omentum and colon! Age 40 when diagnosed, said I would be on something the rest of my life! I sleep all day, and some days I have not left the bed! If we are out as a family (I have an 11-year-old)... then if it's past like 5 PM, I literally can't hold my head up because of being so tired. It makes me want to eat everything in sight. I can't leave an accurate star review since I'm not out long enough to see if recurrence."

For Breast Cancer, Adjuvant "I have been doing fine with it and have not had any serious issues except for the common side effects like blurred vision and other minimal problems, which I cannot link to the medication. I am healthy and doing well so far. I hope the good effect of using this medication along with a whole-food plant-based diet, with the occasional cheat treats, will continue to help me fight off breast cancer and its spread."

For Breast Cancer, Adjuvant "I have been on Femara for five years now. I have had some side effects like dizziness and slight joint pain. All in all, if it keeps breast cancer away, I am happy to take the medication."

For Breast Cancer "My main concern was the memory loss. I could tolerate the hot flashes. The 'morning sickness' was undesired and difficult, but the memory loss is something I can't deal with."

For Breast Cancer, Adjuvant "Changed to Femara after 18 months on Letrozole Accord (Generic) and really still feel just the same. Aches, joint pain, muscle pain, etc. Was hoping to feel a little different."
