HERE WE GO AGAIN............MAYBE.....HOPEFULLY
I had posted before about my wife who was taking Letrozole for 5th line chemo and it didnt work and had now been put 'under hospice/palliative care' only. WELL We are going to try and give Carbo (plus another?) another go, just got to convince the Onc who we see on Friday to ok this. If they dont

A VERY BAD NEWS DAY .............
Not an uplifting post so as they say ......some of you may want to look away now!! Saw Onc and as suspected the Letrozole are not working, CA125 over 5000 now. My wife has spent the last 4-5 days in bed with chronic fatigue, nausea and often vomiting. She has over the past couple of months gone

letrozole (femara) for endo instead of menopause injection
I have been doing some research on the net and come across letrozole (femara) the drug they use to make women ovulate. Apparently if you take it for 6 months it is just as or even more affective than the injection used to induce temporary menopause without the horrendous side effects. It may be worth

LETROZOLE - AND SIDE EFFECTS
Hi, my wife has been on Letrozole for a month now and she is getting what we assume are the side effects, though of course it could just be the ongoing OC aches and pains. This question is for anyone on it, or that has been on it: 'My wife has quite a constant pain in her groin/tops of legs, an achey

Letrozole - a few questions
Hello Ladies A huge thank you for all the replies to my 'in need of moral support' post - did the trick. Operation next week for my recurrance. Letrozole then floated as a treatment, I dont know anything about it - is it taken daily or weekly? At home or in hospital? For a fixed period or forever??

Diet Tips. Lets Help Each Other.
I, like many others I am sure, have been told to lose weight to help my lymphedema. I am finding it sooo difficult. I am taking letrozole and thyroxine. I do feel quite restricted - I have lymphedema on both arms, chest and back.

GREAT RESULT FROM LETROZOLE
Hi! ladies, I haven't blogged for a while but still read all yours. I'm on 3rd time around since March this year with no treatment only on Letrozole. Had a scan on 29th June & it showed a very minimal decrease but it also showed it had moved into lymph gland in abdomen. I read in one of the blogs

Update on Mum

I had 3 cycles of taxol/carbo before my debulking which didnt do anything to shrink the tumours, however I had many and they were large. Ive had my surgery and have a 'flap' of OC left on my diaphragm. They said theres
