Thanks for the info Becky, I won't be seeing my onc until December but do intend discussing this then. I do have some minor bone loss and stiffness/joint pain but nothing I can't handle at this point. Looking on the bright side if I'm still NED at five years I'd really like to stay on arimidex despite any side effcts!
