Duration of endocrine therapy in premenopausal Australian patients

Hello all
Very long time since I’ve poked my head into this discussion forum. 

I’d like to hear what other younger pre-menopausal patients around the country are being recommend regarding duration of total
endocrine therapy. 

I myself am now onto year 6 of ovarian suppression and AI, a choice I have continued although I could have switched to tamoxifen alone. 

Please comment with your doctors advice and your stage/diagnosis. Are you doing:

5 years ovarian suppression and aromatase inhibitor 

7 years ovarian suppression and aromatase inhibitor 

10 years ovarian suppression and aromatase inhibitor 

5 years tamoxifen +/- ovarian suppression and then further 5 years ovarian suppression and aromatase inhibitor 

10 years tamoxifen alone
