Femara only after tamoxefin

Hi Ladies
This week I saw my onc for herceptin and told him I was having a complete hysterectomy next month. So He said we would take me off of tamoxefin and start me on femara the week after surgery. He sent me home with samples and an info pack. While reading the info I kept noticing it stresseed several times that femara is to be used only after completeing 5 years or withing 3 month of ending tamoxefin. I have only been on it since July. Is this info old or what? Of course I will ask onc when I see him again ( which is before surgery ) but just wanted info in the meantime. Thanks, Kriss
