7 years on

Hi everyone, I wonder if someone can help or give me some info?
I was dx in 2003, had a mastectomy, recon and chemo. On tamox for 2 years then Armidex. Had rads in 2005 and two ops to remove nipple and other bits from the recon.
This year I’ve been FREE and wonder if it’s time I stopped Arimidex.
Get hot flushes, but apart from that, nothing.

Anyone got an opinion?
Thanks

Hi Kazza0610,

Welcome to the BCC Discussion Forums.

While you are waiting for replies from other forum users, I just wanted to say that Breast Cancer Care would always advocate talking with your health care team / GP before making decisions about stopping medication.

with best wishes,

Hi Lazza,
I had dx in 2003 mx, and chemo and tamoxyfen for 5 years. Then I was told I would need arimidex for another 5 just to make sure.
Good luck to you
