Re: Anybody taken tamoxifen after 10years of arimidex?

I stopped Arimidex after eight years on the advice of my Onc but she's recently asked me to continue taking it for another two years and said the latest study proved without doubt that ten years is more beneficial than five. However she didn't mention anything about taking it after then so I'm surprised as to your Onc putting you on Tamox now.
