Hi! I have been on Arimidex for 7 years. The Oncologist said that as long as the side effects were not bothering me that I could continue taking it. I have braca2 mutation and I feel safer to take this tablet. I was on Tamoxifin for 3 years when the Oncologist suggested that I take Arimidex because it was found to be better for Families carrying the gene mutation. I had stage 2 Breast Cancer 12 years ago. I had a lumpectomy and a wide excision and lymph gland removal. Three tumuors were found, 2 were ductual carcinoma in sutu while the other one was an invasive ductal carcinoma. I also had 6 Months of Chemo and 6 weeks of radium. I do get side effects from the Arimidex however I would rather take it and have a better chance of survival.
