Hi Sarah
Sorry I have only just seen your post. When I had my recurrence my onc here in England said I would need to stay on it for at least 10 years if I was lucky that it kept me NED.He based this on the fact that there are often circulating tumour cells in the body years after the original diagnosis. Hope this helps.
