Thank you for your response Lucy. They have looked on the internet and mostly they have known that I would be on it for 10 years. The bone loss and pain is real and I'm just thinking if I don't have to be on it that extra 2 years hopefully I end up better off... I don't know of anyone else who has stopped at 8. My oncologist has had others stop at 8. All though I don't know what stage they were going on. I am back on the Aromasin now for the next 6 months and its hard to get used to it again. Nothing I can't handle. I will rethink in 6 months. Hmmm.

Thanks again.
