Hello and congratulations on finishing up your treatments. The letrozole is hard to do so glad you did it.
I live in Florida and the breast cancer index test is used as it can determine if an extra 5 years of hormone blockers would be a benefit or not. It is available in England too but will need to discuss with oncologist.
All of us live with the thought of a reoccurring breast cancer but all we can do is take the best care of ourselves and live on. Take care.

Have you looked at the Predict website? Not sure if it covers that. It might help with’questions to ask,’ anyway.
