I’m on Letrozole for a year now. I had a masectomy Jan. 22 2018 and I’m a year in remission. I’m wondering is it likely to gain weight on Letrozole and or be tired more often?

Hi! No I have no bone pain at all. Yes it’s in my stomach, where I’m gaining. Must be the Letrozole

I've definitely gained weight between the three estrogen blockers I've been on. It doesn't seem to matter which one. I swear all I have to do is look at food and gain weight. I'd gotten into a pretty good daily walking routine but now the rain has started so I have to figure out something else.

I have been on letrozole 17 months and have occasional joint pain. I gained mid-section fat. I work out at least 3-4 days a week and that has helped with my joint pain as well as stabilizing my weight. I for the most part am a healthy eater.

One thing I did notice when I started anastrozole is I swelled up a bit. All over. I had bought cheap rings at kohl’s during chemo because I gained so much weight my wedding ring didn’t fit anymore. Even those rings wouldn’t fit past my knuckle almost immediately after I started anastrozole.
