My situation is not exactly the same as yours but similar. I had two years of Tamoxifen and will have had three years of Femara by Feb. 2011, for a total of 5 years of hormonal therapy. At my last visit, I asked my oncologist how he was thinking about things and I know he wants me on Femara for at least two more years. There is debate "out there" on this topic and he would prefer to be more cautious. You can always get a second or third opinion, given that this issue may be less clear cut for others than it is for your oncologist.
