Hi @maggie14 - I agree, people need to be reminded that Breast Cancer can sneak back into their lives at any time. My story is similar - I had a primary diagnosis in 2005. I had a mastectomy, clear lymph nodes, ovary removal, and 5 years on Arimidex. All my annual check-ups since then had been fine, but in September 2016 I noticed a lump above my collarbone. A biopsy showed that it was er+pr+her- metastatic breast cancer, then scans revealed bone metastases. Like you, I am now taking Femara, and my scans last week (after four months on Femara) showed the metastases to be stable, or a little improved. Good news, but I am mindful that Metastatic Breast Cancer can only be "managed" not cured.
