Any early stage breast cancer still taking Aramatase Inhibitors past 5 years?
On my last visit to my onc, which was the 5 year mark for having taken Arimidex, he did not mention stopping the drug, and I did not bring it up. He is swamped, and may not have noticed. I believe the standard treatment with these drugs, calls for them to be stopped after 5 years.
Any tips for NED/AI drugs/ beyond 5 years? Thank you.
