Becky,

We all have to make decisions with the information we have. You have weighed the pros and cons as we currently know them and have determined that extended hormonal treatment confers a benefit that outweighs the risk of present and future side effects. Only you can make that choice for you. I don't perceive the situation in the same way, and need to see additional information to be convinced. I think there are significant toxicities to these drugs for which evidence of greater benefit than we are currently aware of for use beyond five years will be necessary for me to pursue that course of treatment - my choice for me. Neither choice is right or wrong. Thank goodness we have a choice.
