Off Anastrozole and Letrozole after a year

Hello, may I ask if that 8% number is a recurrence score, & do you know what your distant recurrence score is? All AI's it tried were not worth the pain, so my ONO thought to order an Oncotypre DX Breast recurrence report. It was determined that I too, could stop all the drugs.
My recurrence score is 13, and my distant score (risk at 9 years) is 4. I was HER negative. After taking these drugs for six months and stopping them for about six months, my knees are still hurting. You are a wise woman.

@kpederso I also had an oncotype test & my risk of distant recurrance was 7% WITH endocrine therapy (tamoxifen, A.I. drugs, etc). (No chemo recommended.) I am taking 10 mg of tamoxifen. I wasn't aware that the test gave a distant recurrance risk score that didn't include taking one of the hormone blockers.
