Just an update on my visit to the oncology clinic yesterday - it was very rushed as appointments were already running 1.25 hours late at 8:30 a.m. (!!), so the oncologist I was booked with (I seem to see a different one every time I go) had little time to talk. His feeling was that as there is no evidence that continuing Letrozole after 5 years is beneficial, I should stop taking it after December. I have another appt booked at the oncology clinic in early December so I will talk further about it with whomever I see at that time. I will also talk to my family doctor, who used to be an associate at the local oncology clinic, at my annual physicial in October.
Thank you, once again, for your help and encouragement!
