Re: Femara
Hello Jean,
Going into my tenth year on arimidex and did stop at the nine year mark but oncologist suggested I take it again at my 10 year appt. (first year after
Treatment I took tamoxifen then had a oophorectomy). She also recommended vitamin D so I'm taking it and I do think I notice less joint/bone pain. My oncologist recommended I continue taking it as long as I can, as she said studies show triple positive tend to be at greater risk than her2 + folks after 10 years. Didn't think about it but I should have ask where to find these results, maybe it's mainly because of my lymph node involvement.
And congratulations on your 11 YEAR MARK!
