I am thinking similarly, Becky. I have 2 years of Tamoxifen and 3 years of Femara under my belt and was urged to continue on an anti-hormonal another 5 years. I was highly ER and PR positive as well as highly Her-2. Hope there is some follow up data to support these findings for those who are triple positive. For now I will continue on the Tamoxifen since it is not bothering me.
