Re: Tumor Profiling Lab Tests

Hi, Becky! Long time no see! Need to get to bed so this will be short! Just wondering if you are still taking Arimidex? Congrats to your NED! A blessing beyond measure.

Re: Arimidex vs generic Anastrozole

I have not checked to see if my insurance would pay for Arimidex because I assumed the generic was as good, so the thought of asking for Arimidex had never crossed my mind. But last week my...

Arimidex vs generic Anastrozole

I know that ER+ Her2+ is a fairly small group, but I am wondering how many of you are still taking Arimidex or have switched to the generic Anastrozole. (And maybe it is not a choice anymore?)

Re: Five Year mark for AI inhibitor

I have been on Arimidex (now Anastrozole) for 8 1/2 years. I see my onc in about a week, but he has said that he will keep me on this; he says the reports on Arimidex beyond 5 years are looking good.
