My MO actually referred to this study at my appt last week. I have the BCI test, CTS5 calculator, and now this study to help guide my decision to continue past 5 years or not. Even though I'm just past 3 years in on the Ai it's helpful to have as much info as possible. It's not an easy decision. Thanks Mods!

I'm hoping my oncologist reads this study. I'm on year six of Aromasin and would really like to stop after year seven.

My MO actually brought up the subject and I stopped taking them after about 7-1/2 years.

Thank you, Mods, for highlighting this study. And a very big thank you to the women who participated in the study so that those who follow can benefit.

You're all so welcome! So glad it could be of help!

ElaineTherese -- we'd suggest you bring this study up to your oncologist! That way you'll KNOW they are aware of it and you can discuss what this study means for your situation.
