So sorry to hear all that, I was on Letrozole but only for 6 weeks as unfortunately it didn’t work for me, I seemed to suffer with hot flushes and night sweats and aching across my neck collar bone and shoulders but not breathlessness or rashes. It is possible I wasn’t really on it long enough, sorry I’m not much help. Have you tried calling your CNS ?? Hope you get it resolved soon and somebody comes along that can offer you a bit more help.
Thank you for your reply Christine . I have been on the Letrozole for 16 months it’s just since I changed to Ibrance from Kasqali . I will talk to my oncologist next visit .
I'm sorry to hear that you've been feeling breathless since starting Ibrance. You can find some information about this drug, including its side effects, at macmillan.org.uk/cancer-inf...
Macmillan recommends contacting a doctor straight away if you develop breathlessness, so please get in touch with your team today or, if you are unable to reach them, speak to your GP or NHS 111.
I hope that you get some help soon to find out what's causing the breathlessness and manage it.
