On Letrozole For Stage 1 Breast Cancer After Lumpectomy And Radiation. Bad Side Effects From Other Medications. Any Natural Way To Supress The Hormones?

I am currently taking Letrozole as a treatment for stage 1, Breast Cancer after lumpectomy & radiation. I started with Tamoxifan, then Arimidex and Exemestane and now Letrozole. Is there a natural way to supress the hormones that i can try? The first three meds had really bad side affects for me, the Letrozole is the best of the four but I am tired and have insomnia. Thank you

Hi, there will be side effects to the drugs used as chemotherapy, instead of stopping the drugs, it would have been better to have some drugs, to prevent the side effects. Like for gastric irritation, you may use drugs to prevent the gastric irritation, and for insomnia you can have hypnotics with your doctors advise. Thank you.
