Breast cancer after taking hormone blocking tablets

Hi @AT404 - as others have said, there are no guarantees with any treatment and oncologists give advice based on your pathology - every case is different. My initial breast cancer diagnosis (ERpos HER2neg) was in 2005 - I had a mastectomy, reconstruction, removal of ovaries, then five years on Arimidex. I was all clear for 11 years, then diagnosed with metastases last year - currently taking Letrozole which is keeping mets stable. If I hadn't taken Arimidex my mets would have probably occurred much earlier - so I am very grateful for the benefits of hormone blockers. I had only minimal side effects from both the Arimidex and Letrozole.
