No need to question the validity of this test.
Here is a link to guidelines and an understanding of it.

But if you are tapering off with an expectation of the hot flashes, I just want to tell you I got a mean surprise. I have been off for 3 or 4 years and the hot flashes did not subside. It could be all about timing and all that but I will be curious to hear if it is different for you.
Have you talked to your doctor about this test, or about the hot flashes?

@wabbit9 As @auntioakley wrote, the Breast Cancer Index is now part of the NCCN guidelines, like the Oncotype.

I learned of it from breastcancer.org from posters I trust, and my oncologist at the time had not heard of it. Her comment to me was "Now I plan on using this for my other patients." Presumably it is part of many oncology practices now that it has been studied and included in the guidelines.

I had wanted to do 7 years because I read that 7 is as good as 10. I miss the feeling of being protected but I am 8 1/2 years out now.
