Circulating tumor cells to determine risk of recurrence

Just look at the graphs on the Oncotype. And I have read many times that with triple negative, if you make it 5 years, your risk is low for recurrence but with ER+ the risk rises every year. My doc said the same thing. I don't know what others are hearing. Maybe docs don't tell them. Maybe people think they do 5 or 7 or 10 years of an AI and they are all set. We are not talking extremely high risk. In testing I seem to have gone from 6% risk of recurrence to 9 or 10% in 7 years.

I did a Breast Cancer Index test that showed no further benefit from an AI. I had severe osteoporosis when I started and my endo did not do Reclast because he was nervous about afib (since disproven) so my osteoporosis had worsened. I went on Tymlos and am going to finish with a dose of Reclast. One doc said I could do two more years later on which I might still ask about.
I miss the security of being on an AI!

Some people are doing 10 years of an AI but I would do a Breast Cancer Index to make sure it is still of benefit after 5 years.

Yes. I am aware of rising risk just wonder why?

Ugh
