I am also grateful for you post. I have serous endometrial cancer, stage 4, and was given a very dire prognosis in January . I was given 'non-curative" chemotherapy earlier this year but denied radiotherapy "because it wouldn't extend my life". I traveled to Australia (from New Zealand) to get it where attitudes were more positive and technology more advanced. I have recently been prescribed Lexatrole, replacing Tamoxafen. Letrozole is an aromatase inhibitor, like Aromasin. My tumour was estrogen sensitive and I am post-menopausal. I had to have a bone scan before I started Letrozole , and will have regular ones, as a thinning of the bones is one risk with it. I continue to feel well and am doing my normal activities. I am currently training for a 300 km bike trail from Mount Cook to the sea over 5 days. I look forward to making my 80's like you!!

And I just cycled the pyranees, did a triathlon in august and will do a granfondo ride next Sept.! Neither of the drugs you and miraclegirl were given were offered to me? I guess I need to know the pathology of my tumour. More research. It seems to never end but this is a good thing! Ecstatic to here you are training and the bike ride sounds intriguing. I am in Canada. What drugs made up your “non -curative” chemo? What an odd phrase to attach to out..Keep setting goals and reaching them that’s what I’m setting my mind to do. Ive been NED since May 2018 now. Chemo ended Oct. 31/18 but my oncologist says the NED goes from when the surgery removed it? They also said they were going for curative not palliative care. I will be asking about the drugs you tow ladies have mentioned. God bless all of us!
