Hi Marianne

I know that Letrozole can increase your cholesterol. I read about it on the side effects of treatment. I asked my Gp about it, and we are going to monitor my levels when I have settled into my treatment. It might be worth speaking to your Gp, as they can put you on a statin. I’m sure these won’t affect your treatment as they are one of the tablets that some of the ladies take on the COC trial.

Hope this helps. Clare 🙂

Thank you for reminding me that I need to get my cholesterol checked! I don't have a GP, and do not let my gyno take blood because I deal with too many needles as it is! I DO need to do this! I'm 57, and my mom and grandmother both had heart attacks in their 60's. Also need to get to a dermatologist to get checked for skin cancer...With the breast cancer, it's easy to forget that other things can get you, too! God, how awful it would be to survive a long time w/ breast cancer only to be hit with something else?
