The bigger point in all of this is the statistics on how antihormonals help us. Are they actually better at preventing recurrence than indicated (if you are religious and take them everyday as directed)?
My onc's suggestion was to take a "vacation" from the meds for a while, to see if the symptoms improved. I am sure he is not the only doc who suggests that to their patients. The issue isn't just one that, left to their own devices, people will blow off their meds.
