My story is a little different, my oncologist suggested that I stay on femara for 10 yrs, well she retired and my new oncologist which I really like said that 5 yrs was enough. I asked about the studies and the 10 yrs compared to 5 and she said there isn't a significant change in outcome and the study is still being done. With the joint pain, weight gain etc she said she felt ok with me going off it, I went off of it 3 months ago and I feel pretty good, hopefully it stays that way. It's so confusing when one doctor says one thing and another says the opposite. We put so much trust and faith in our healthcare system. I'm fine with my decision, I was glad to just be done with the one last thing that still held me to a cancer diagnosis. I was able to manage the joint pain while on it so it wasn't horrible but the puffiness that came with it was annoying, since I have been off the puffiness is gone, i feel like my old self again. Time will tell. Fingers crossed.
