you need to see your doctor immediately. Stop letrozole immediately and see your doctor. Letrozole is given if post menopausal status is achieved and if you are bleeding then it should be stopped and cause of bleeding needs to be investigated. If the bleeding is not menopausal bleed you will be restarted on letrozole again. If it is menstrual bleed then you will be started on tamoxifen again.
