Good luck with that nasty Anastozole! It’ll be 5 years that I’ve had to be on it this August. Can’t wait to go off it, although my Dr said new information shows it’s best to stay on it for 7 to 10 years! It’s cause severe osteoporosis, affected my teeth beyond! Gave me blood clots to where I have to be on blood thinners for life! Also made my hair keep falling out & wrinkles!!!

@perplexed see if you can have a Breast Cancer Index test. It is now included in the guidelines for docs. It is done at 5 years and tells you risk of recurrence in years 6-10 and also a yes or no answer on whether there is benefit to extended hormonal therapy.
