Just had my 6 month check up today. The first thing my onc. said was he wanted me to continue on Femara. We did not even discuss how long....he said for a while.
Since I am 90% Er + I was not deeply upset.

I remember a while back when studies came out about AI being used longer than 5 yrs. - does anyone remember that?

Thanks,
jean
