Five Year Femera is up
I was hoping my onc will allow me to continue on with Femara after the completion of 5 years. But he says that he just can't do that, without any data to support the continuation. He follows the rule and doesn't want to get into trouble. So, my security blanket is being taken away from me. Anyone here is facing the same situation?
