Hi everyone, I was diagnosed in 2014 and completed treatment the same year. 1.7cm, ER+, Her2. I am now on Arimidex and take a bisphosphonate orally once a week ( I don't have an issue with my bones but looking at the research it seemed a valuable add to my meds). My BMI is around 30 (yes I know I could do better) however at the start of this I weighed about 30kgs more than I do at the moment. I have read that Metformin is now being talked about to help in the fight to reduce recurrence. Does anyone have any more information as what I can find seems is largely dated 2015. Really appreciate if anyone has latest information on the potential benefits of taking Metformin.

Kind regards and off to get that salad organised.
