There's been reports of the benefits of Tamoxifen for 10 years being better than 5 and I was wondering also if that would apply to other anti-hormonals. I was on Femara for 6 years.
I would check it out, even possibly get a second opinion. I'm very interested in this question although I've now been off Femara for a few years.
Here's the article I read: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/06/health/extended-use-of-breast-cancer-drug-suggested.html?_r=0
