Hi. I finished surgery and radiotherapy for invasive oestregen positive breast cancer, stage 2, a year ago and have been taking Letrozole since. I have sore joints, hot flushes and my dexa scan shows significant bone density loss so I am also now on Alendronic Acid for that. The worst side effect of Letrozole though is I am putting on so much weight! Has anyone else noticed this and is there anything I can do about it?

for me, it was focusing on eating more fruits, veggies, lean proteins, and whole grains into my meals... try to limit processed foods and sugary snacks
Weight gain while on Letrozole is a common issue!!! One thing that helped *me* was focusing on portion control. Try keeping a food diary to track what you eat and identify any patterns or triggers that might be contributing to the weight gain. Additionally, stay active and itll help manage weight and improve overall well-being. Even small things like taking short walks or doing gentle stretches throughout the day can make a difference
