Hi Dianne,

I don't log on often but noticed your post. My history is- Diagnosed July 2004 8mm tumor, ER+ (10%), PR-, Her2 +++ no nodes, no vascular invasion, lumpectomy + rads, no herceptin.
I took tamoxifin for 2 years and then switched to Arimidex. I stayed on it for one year but decided to stop as it was affecting my bone density. I had osteopenia and osteoporosis before diagnosis. I am now 5 yrs+ and so far no recurrence. I'm not sure if I made the right decision regarding the AI but I felt as if it was poisoning me.
Regards,
Emily
