Cathy my Onc told me to stop at eight years due to recent studies, at ten years she said do another two years as there are more studies done. In all I only did ten years but with two years break so doubt that was a factor. I'm now told five years would have sufficed! Please keep us posted and I'll be wishing good news for you.
