Re: Triple Positive
I am triple+ and am now 10 years out!
I did 2.5 years of Tamoxifen, the 2.5 years of Femara, along with chemo and Herceptin. I was pre-menopausal at diagnosis, but then blood work confirmed I had gone into menopause so I did the Femara.
Some studies have now shown that 10 years of anti-hormonals may be beneficial, but for me, my oncologist felt that the risks of taking 5 more years of Femara outweighed the possible benefits, due to other medical conditions.
There are so many treatment options available for triple+s now, confer with your doctors for the best regime for you.
Good luck, I look forward to seeing you join the 10 year out club (and beyond)!
all the best
caya
