Hard to believe that six years ago, we were sitting and listening to Dr. Ng tell me that I had IDC. My whole world changed that day, and nothing has been the same since. How can it? But I have done what Dr. Schaffer told me to -- "Just live" she said. And I have.
On Dec. 23, she authorized the end of Arimidex for me, after five long years. She said I was the best candidate for not continuing for another five years -- my tumor was small and I had received the most aggressive treatment available.
I have no qualms about stopping. I had been upset at the thought of having to take Arimidex for another five years. I have been counting down year after year to stopping this medication.
Time to work on a life without Arimidex.
