Hi @MMAN .... Your Onc should be able to tell you the 'percentage chance' of a recurrence - doing a 'probability' test, that indicates the possibility of return ... Grade 3 can be the reason for the meds as well ....
Not everyone gets side effects from the tablets .... and those of us that did - many of us have asked for a change in meds and that has often solved the problem. I was on Exemestane for 6 months before getting side effects, then changed to Anastrozole & been on it for 4.5 years now! So definitely worth asking about a change if the first one you take doesn't suit you.
take care & all the best.
Now that you are finished your 'active treatment' don't forget to look into Otis Foundation for a little holiday with family/friends next year .....
