Re: YouTube on AIs longer than 5 Years
This makes sense to me. I just wish I qualified for the treatment. I had a very special friend several years ago who had estrogen positive breast cancer. Even though her tumor was quite large and was still not detected on mamo, she did very well. My late husband was her pharmacist. When her dr. took her off Tomoxifin because her five years was up, my husband tried to convince her to stay on it. She did not and within two years had mets to the brain.
I hope if this is an option for you, you will do this.
