Re: More than 5 years on Femera Ontario ladies?

Thanks for your replies. Sarah that was a good article shows that the discussion
is still going on in regard to this. Cathya did your doctor just give you another year or did you ask to stay on? You are obviously doing amazing! Roz so sweet you remember me,
I have been volunteering upstairs in the new HUGE unit. Unfortunately I developed
plantar faciatis and have had a really difficult time walking so have not been able to volunteer lately. My bone density etc have been fine but I guess at my age (60) he probably is worried about bone weakness if I stay on Femara as well. Hope you all have a good weekend. I think it is amazing that one of us can reach out with questions and
feel like we have a sisterhood that can respond with care. Thanks
