Re: 5 yr or 10 yr Femara
Hi Donna, many congratulations on reaching five years almost!! When I was diagnosed I was told five years was the norm, by the time I completed that it became ten. When I reached eight years my Onc told me to stop it as newer studies say five years are fine..only to call me the following year and tell me to take for another two years due to the latest study results! They don't make it easy, I was surprised to not feel any better once I had stopped and perhaps it was old age rather than the side effects creeping up on me lol. I think if you really feel you need to stop then I would as who knows what results will be in next. Wish I could be more help but I was as confused as you.Good luck with your decision.
