Shanda1111. Congrats on the 14 years, but sad to read you are now having to do treatments again. Best wishes for NED or remission asap.

ruthbru....thanks. Was it your decision to only do 5 years or your Docs? I'm hoping to only do 5 but hear 10 might be recommended.

Ruthbru - I am interested in your answer too. Coming up on completing 5 years and my MO has given me no definitive answer on extending time on AI.

5 years in August 2016. IDC, Stage 1b, Grade 1. Lumpectomy and 33 Rads treatments. Oncotype score was 11.Tamoxifen for 5 years. Oncologist said no extension on the Tamoxifen. Yea!

I don't remember seeing this thread back in October when on October 11 I had my 5 yr! Seeing topics like this are what helped get me through the rough parts.

Iam glad that you are free cancer. That is a blessing, congrats. 😊🌸🌺Iam taking letrozole and before that I was with anastrazole. I am trying to not quiet but my body is very painful. I do not know if is better to change to Tamoxifen. I had a Doble mastectomy, because I was with a lump 1 cm in my right breast. BRCA2 gen and ER +. No quimo or radio. I want to know how yo deal with the medicine. Thank you. 😊🌸

5 years out ... finished Tamoxifen one week ago and will start Letrozole on June 5 for 5 years ....have to admit I am feeling a bit scared with the thought of the s/e. I am feeling better already after one week without Tamoxifen

Saw my MO yesterday. She said the research says not much extra benefit for more than 5 years on AIs, though if one is a nervous Nelly like me, I might have a psychological benefit of staying on for another year (I have no evident SEs on exemestane except thinning hair on top which she did say would reverse once off the AI - really?). She did start me on Prolia shots, every 6 months, as they appear to help prevent bone mets.

I agree, Pipandor, wish more -er/-pr Her2+ would post.

Same here Pinpandor. I'm triple negative. Would love to hear from some of those gals. Though I've been told that once most people get a couple of years under their belt, they tend to fall off of this sight. I'm at 19 months and counting.
