Thank you for posting this Lani. I'm one of the few who didn't have chemo or Herceptin. My onc recommended Zoladex and Arimidex when I was diagnosed almost 5 years ago. I've been on that combo and am almost (next week) 5 years out from diagnosis. Happily dancing with NED, once the stiffness in my joints has subsided, which takes about 15 minutes each morning. (As long as I keep moving I'm fine. When I wake up in the morning I feel like an old woman. I see it as practice for years to come ;-))
