Hi All-
I am nearing my 5 year NED anniversary. My MO wants to keep me on Femara for another 5 years (10 total). I really would prefer to stop taking the AI. I've done some research about the benefits of staying on for 10 years total but results seem to be mixed. So any insight/comments from this group are welcomed. I have found the advice from people on this sight to be as beneficial as that from my medical team....sometimes more beneficial. I was stage 2, no node involvement. Went thru TCH 6x plus additional 11 H and 33 radiation visits.

Thanks.
