Hi Ladies,

It's been a long time since I've posted on this site. I've been on Femara/Arimidex for 8 years! Recently switched to Arimidex when it went generic this last summer. My onc plans to keep me on for 10 years. He says studies at MD Anderson show it is safe and higher benefit for 10 years. I was almost 40 yrs, triple +, and 1 node + at dx in March 2003. I do have osteopenia, but not full blown osteoporosis yet.
