Re: Five years Femara - Spinal Stenosis

Totally agree Tricia. I was diagnosed 2 years prior to you and i am still on Femara. i started on Tamoxifen and then went to Arimidex after i nagged my onc for ages! The i went to Femara to try to stop side effects. I am terrified of going off them. I have osteopenia but it has been stable for a few years.
