Dear Doctor,
Let me kindly ask you a question regarding Letrozol 2.5 mg.
First of all let me explain briefly my medical situation as follows:
Before 5 years, i had mastectomy removing completely the left breast. After this I being treated with chemotherapy 6 sessions. I used to take Tamoxifen for 4.5 years. Last year in April, my doctor replace Tamoxifen with Anastrazol, but from October and on I'm facing bones pain (in femoral bilateral bone) much more in the right side. Please, can you tell me if I can start taking Letrozol 2.5 mg, instead of Anastrazol, just in order to avoid the bones pain without having any other risk. Hoping for your reply. Thank you in advance.
