Femara

I started Arimidex in May 2006 and switched to Femara about 15 months ago. So I will continue Femara until May 2011. I would like to get off in 5 years. If the study shows less recurrence with 10 years, then it is what it is. I guess we will all have to decide. I worry about estrogen depletion in my eyes, heart, brain, etc.
