Glenda007, woman of great courage! I so appreciate your response and sharing!!! Thank you so much for sharing this with me. I will ask my doctors about this Lexatrole. Glad to hear there is another followup drug for us. I wish my original oncologist were still available to me. May I pray for you in your journey? If you are so inclined, please stay in touch with me, and I will do same with you. I will also ask my current oncologist about this drug next time I see her. Do you know who the manufacturer is? Pfizer has been providing my Aromasin via their patient asistance program. Every year I have to reapply. Don't know yet if they will continue for 2020. Hoping to hear soon. Many thanks for sharing your journey with me, Glenda.

I wish I could be around to hear you say, "Hey, I made it! My 80th birthday!" You go, Gal!!

H Judy (Miraclegirl). Aromasin seems to have served you very well indeed. The doctor who prescribed it may have been ahead of their time. I hope the Letrozole does the same for me. It is made by Mylan, a New Zealand company. One of my reasons for keeping active is to maintain a strengthening of my bones. There are a couple of other drugs that have been mentioned to me, Keytruda and Avastin. Avastin obstructs the cancer from developing its own blood supply. Keytruda is being found to be effective with a number of cancers but I'm not sure if there has been any trials completed for endometrial cancer. As you say, there is little research done on our particular diagnosis and stage. I am about to have a CT scan which will show how effective the radiotherapy I had was. Fingers crossed. It was very hard to go through, all the more so because I had to go to Australia to get it. However there are few effects of it hanging on now. I would be very interested to hear about any other factors which you think contributed to you remarkable survival. Glenda
