I have been on Letrozole for 2 months now and it has been very tolerable. I will get slight nausea if I havent eaten when I take it, but really no other significant side effects. Good luck!

Thanks Sharon. Increased effectiveness makes sense. Besides Letrozole being in a different drug class it is a much newer drug.
I am on Xgeva instead of Zometa.
