I will soon be coming up on my 5 years on Arimidex. My onc says he will take me off then. I really want to continue it longer if possible. I have read where some of you are taking it longer. Any suggestions on how to convince him? I actually have had few side effects, just joint pain which exercise has helped. Thanks so much.
