Hopefull,
I think the idea of 3 months holiday and then back on sounds good.
We benefit in two ways....
1) we get a break from the side effects of the AI...no joint pain....at all. 2) we then go back on after 3 months which certianly can not cause major harm as the recent data is showing from
the Femara study that delay up to 7 years is not hindering the treatment.
Sounds very interesting and offers the best of both worlds.
Regards,
Jean
