9 months with Letrozole

Letrozole and I celebrated our 9-month anniversary over the weekend, and I can say, “So far, so good.” I had the thought this weekend, “Why was I so afraid of starting this?” The side effects I experienced in the beginning are no longer an issue, and my body has acclimated to the “new normal.”

The only real concern right now is that I am experiencing an excessively high heart rate (greater than 170 bpm) when engaging in moderate exercise. Because of that, I have a referral to a cardiologist on April 22, the same day I’ll see Dr. Rossi and have labs.

However, I feel fine while exercising. I am not short of breath or anything like that, so this referral is simply to rule out any issue versus being an actual concern at this point.

Here are previous posts regarding Letrozole for those who are researching it for themselves.
