Fast Forward breast cancer drug (Anastrazole) 10 year trial

I'm 8 years into this drug trial, recovering from breast cancer (yes, I'm well now, thanks) Is anyone on MN also on this trial? It seems to have just ground to a halt post-Covid and the hospital doesn't seem to know what's going on. Assures me will call back with information but I've been chasing for a month now without any response. Anyone else?

Fast Forward is a radiotherapy trial that has published and implememted results. Follow up is for 10 years.

Thank you giraffe. I'm having problems finding out what's happened with follow up, medication Anastrazole for 10 years. I was seen annually from 2014 until Covid but now I can't find out whether it's still running or has been abandoned. Just wondered what's happened to others.

The anastrozole has nothing to do with the Fast Forward trial. Have you tried contacting the breast specialist nurses at the hospital you were treated at. People normally take anastrozole for between 5 - 10 years depending on their diagnosis.

Thank you, I'm obviously confused and will do as you suggest, thats the most sense I've had in 2 years, very grateful.

Finally got a returned call from Fast Forward. 2 years left to run. Service resumed.
