DCIS do I really need an AI?

I have peripheral neuropathy from chemo. I had chemo, 6 weeks of radiation and a lumpectomy. I told my oncologist I didn't want to take taxmoxifen or any other AL. I'm 82 and life is short, why make myself miserable like when I was in menopause and emotionally a mess.
I saw my oncologist several weeks ago. He looked at my blood work and said he didn't expect my breast cancer to return.

I totally agree that we all have different choices for different reasons. If I were you, I would likely make the same decision you did.
In my case I was in my 30s and I was hoping to have to live with my decisions for many years to come, so I hope my choices were the right choice for me. Time will tell.😁
I always hope when I am reading posts that people are finding the best treatment choices for them.
I am always curious what helped people make the best choices.
What were the driving forces behind your decisions?
