Hello all: I'm about to hit the big five year mark and I was wondering how many of you got off Arimidex after this period? I know that outcome of studies on the subject are not definitive yet, so I wondered what others have done? Same question applies to Zometa -- did any of you come off it, too, after five years? Thanks for your replies.

    Hi Sherry65, and welcome to Breastcancer.org.

    While the ladies here in the ILC forum may indeed be able to help, you may get more responses on the Hormonal Therapy - Before, During and After forum. You may want to try posting there too!

    Sherry, I am not at 5 years yet. My PT initially told me NOT to go off it at 5 years, because she had several patients who recurred within a year of stopping the AI. I shrugged that off, but then the study came out about continuing 10 years. I expect to be on it as long as I, and my bones, hold up.

    Why are you on zometa?
