How long do we stay on arimedex for? live in Uk and they want to stop it!

Please can anyone help?
Diagnosed in 2002 with Her 2 pos , grade 3 and 1 lymph node involved. Herceptin was not given then so surgery, chemo and Radio. Had my ovaries out as only 34 on arimedex ever since. My bones have stated declining, on alenedrenic acid. Was meant to be on arimedex for 5 years, begged my consultant and I am on it for an extra year! I have been hoarding it and have 7 extra boxes so might have a year extra when they stop it! What do I do? I want to stay on it. What will happen when I stop?? in England they do not give us anything. You ladys in the USA seem to be better looked after! What should I do ? so far so good .I am married and have 3 children 15, 13 and 9 and I want to be there when they get married! would love to hear from anyone in a similar situation. Many thanks love Amanda
