I went off of Femara after five years about 2.5 years ago. My oncologist gave me the option of staying on, saying that studies were in progress but nothing definitive had come out of the studies yet.

With my recurrence (or new cancer), I've been 2nd guessing myself. I know her2 is aggressive and I also wonder how much of a brake Femara was providing.

As always, hindsight is 20/20. If I had the chance for a "do- over", I'd live with the minor aches and pains and stay on the AI.

Just IMHO ...
