[Margerie]

Way back when I first met my oncologist, he recommended an ooph and Arimidex for 5 years. He also said that after 5 years, he would probably recommend switching to another AI for another 5 years depending on what studies are showing. We will cross that bridge when we get there. I am 2.5 years into my 5 years of Arimidex. Thankfully, I do not have too many problems with the Arimidex (the new blister pack not withstanding) and my bone density and cholesterol are still good.

I was thinking that since ER+ seems to like to recur 7 years+ it makes sense to stay on AI's longer than 5. I am just glad that they are trying to figure out what to do with all the women who are 5+years out NED.

Thanks for taking the time to post your discussion Becky. Your onc sounds like a gem!
