Hi,
I'm in my 11th year of taking Arimadex, after a bilateral mastectomy in 2005 at the age of 47.

I'm waiting to hear back from my oncologist to see if she wants me to stop. I just had a Dexa scan showing osteopenia.

I'd be curious about other HER2 women's experiences with Arimadex. I tolerate it very well and actually am scared to come off of it.

Many thanks,
Jane

Have been blessedly well — and lucky — since treatment
