Re: Five Year mark for AI inhibitor
I was on Tamoxifen for 2 1/2 years, now on Femara. My 2 1/2 years will be up next July (2012). My onc. has told me that he wants me off it then, due to my osteoporosis, and the fact that current studies are not showing any really good reason to prolong taking it.
On the one hand, I will be happy to be off it - weight gain, joint pain, insomnia, osteoporosis, to name a few reasons - on the other hand, it's my security blanket and I'm nervous to go off it.
all the best
