Thanks Lani, I'm similar to Jean in that I'm highly triple positive so nine years out this summer (hopefully!) and this will be my eighth year taking Arimidex as I only took Tamox for six weeks before having an Ooph. I think my Onc will be happy to leave me on this drug until we get more info and certainly up to ten years, that trial sounds interesting Jean, although I already get a once yearly iv of Zometa for bone loss.
