I had 5 years of Tamoxifen therapy. Dr then switched me to letrozole a year ago. I am supposed to take it for the next four years for a total of 10 year is a hormonal therapy.

My current issue is that my cholesterol level has Increase from 210 to 340 in the past year that I have been on the letrozole. Now, oncologist wants to add a statin for my cholesterol issue. I do not want to take another Med!

Anyone else have a huge increase in cholesterol level from letrozole???
