How long on Evista?

How long on Evista?

I had a mastectomy for breast cancer in 1996.  Not long after I started taking Evista to avoid osteoporosis since I was no longer taking estrogen.  Have continued taking it ever since, through three changes of internist.  I am wondering if perhaps it isn't time to quit.  How long should one stay on this stuff?  I was considering the question when all the reports on raloxofin's ability to avoid breast cancer, and it seemed like a good thing to keep taking it.  But isn't 13 years maybe long enough?
