Talk to your onc: Your oncologist would be the best one to answer this question. It's not a good idea to stop taking med without a discussion with the prescribing physician, especially when cancer is involved.

Higher than if u...: ...Stay on femara (letrozole). To be more direct, your question cannot be answered since we don't have info re: your stage, rx to-date, personal health, etc. Regardless, people sometimes minimize the effectiveness of aromatase inhibitors--they are potent chemotherapeutic agents, proven to help cure breast cancer.
