I'm good. I've decided the joint pains are well worth the protection. How are you doing?

Common side effects that people experience with letrozole include:

• Hot flashes and night sweats
• Joint and muscle pain
• Fatigue and weakness
• Hair thinning or loss
• Dry skin
• Digestive issues like nausea or stomach pain
• Mood changes
• Changes in weight or appetite Many people find that side effects become more manageable over time. As one MyBCTeam member shared, their body adjusted after 4-6 months, and daily exercise and stretching helped manage symptoms. If you're struggling with side effects, talk to your doctor - they may be able to switch you to a different medication like anastrozole, which some people tolerate better.

Remember to maintain a healthy diet, stay hydrated, and communicate openly with your healthcare team about any concerns.
