Amanda, a lot of my friends who live in the States have agreed with their onc to remain on arimidex for ten years! I live in Ireland and have'nt spoken to mine about it just yet but as it seems to be working so far I'm hoping I can stay on it longer. I did have some slight bone loss the first year but my latest dexa scan showed improvement in that. I have walked regularly this year so not sure if thats whats giving me the improvement.
