Re: Time to check what the latest advices on post 5 year Arimidex, Femara or other si
Hi Ann,
When I visited my dr. in Oct. we discussed my AI treatment routine (I am taking Femara) since I am doing well on it as far as not experiencing joint pain, headaches or hot flashes, and bone health has remained steady. He wanted me to continue taking Femara well past the 5yrs time line we first discussed yrs. ago. At present I have been on AI for 6.5 yrs. I would like to add that I am highly ER+ positive (90%). I am experiencing my once thick full bodied hair is baby fine and thin. I will most likely continue on Femara for another 3 yrs.
Best Wishes,
Jean
