I read somewhere in this forum that after 5 years of AI, she found out the cancer metastasized. So I did some research and came across this article. It's an old one (2017) and I don't see any recent update. I decided not to scare myself by doing further research. I'm taking Exemestane and hope it works.

I was first diagnosed in 2001. We caught it very early. Had chemo and radiation followed by 5 years on Tamoxifen. Recurrent cancer (same side) 2018. Had bilateral mastectomies. Took Anastrazole for 5 years. Recently, my doctor offered to ask for BCI (breast cancer index?) testing on my tumor to see if I would benefit from another 5 years on Tamoxifen…and it turns out I would. Who knew they kept our little tumors frozen in a vault somewhere for ? years?! We caught mine early both times…the best of the bad news…but twice.

I am also taking Exemestane. I agree with you...............I don't want to know anymore. However, I will be asking my Dr. at my next appointment!!
