Femara stop after 5 years

anne_marie

Hi! I had lumpectomy 5 yrs. ago followed by radiation therapy. After 5 yrs of Tamoxifen my Onc. prescribed me Femara and now she stopped me from taking that medication without checking if I am still ER positive or not. Is it advisable for me to ask her to check if I am still ER positive?
