Answer
Was her cancer hormone receptor positive? If it was her Arimidex medication is indicated and makes sense. However in her present situation more chemotherapy is needed. Radiation therapy may also be useful. You need to discuss her case with her local oncologist soonest! Please do keep me posted1
