My doctors are suggesting that I take a hormone therapy inhibitor in addition to the chemo I took last year. His suggestion is letrozole ….

Thank you for any feedback! 💕

Hi, I’ve been on Letrozole since August of 2017, it’s not a cancer pill per say, it’s an estrogen blocker. My cancer was 83% estrogen receptive. I’ve done well on it. Other than being dry and crispy if you know what I mean?

Estrogen keeps everything lubricated 🙂

So, my skin is dry… everything is dry 🙃

Best wishes for you on your journey.

Well, it’s neither a cancer or Chemo pill. It’s just an estrogen blocker. 🙂 it’s worked well for me, I’ll be 6 years from diagnosis in November.
