I have just had a second breast cancer, same breast therefore this time a mastectomy, but lymph nodes clear.  I was on letrozole for 4 years, now they want me to change to another medication for another 5 years, either tamoxifen or exemestane but I have to decide which!  Part of me says just to stop taking anything, I got a recurrence on letrozole after 4 years anyway.  Does anyone have a similar experience?

    Welcome to the forum, I'm Daisy53 one of the Community Champions on this forum.  I'm sorry to hear that you had a second breast cancer in the same breast as before.  While I don't have an answer for you, I noticed that you haven't had any replies so I thought I'd reply to you to welcome you to the Community and tomove you to the top of the discussion.  Hopefully someone will be along shortly with an answer for you.

    Best wishes
