I am scheduled for lumpectomy on 2/28. Path report came back Estrogen + progesterone + and HER2 negative. I will have radiation - number of visits to be determined. The breast surgeon said I will be on AIs. I’m rethinking this. The side effects listed are awful. I also have strong familial cardic history and personal history of elevated BP and elevated cholesterol. I take meds for both. I’m wondering what my recurrence risk would be without the AI. I also have kidney issues that I don’t want to worsen. Any thoughts re AIs?

Good to have your surgery scheduled. Prayers for you.
Not everyone has every side effect listed for a med. I’ve been on Letrozole (AI) for 3 years now. I started 2 other cancer meds at the same time so hard to know what causes what. The only really challenging side effect I think Letrozole is causing is terrible insomnia. I’ve had sleep issues my whole life though but now it’s ridiculous. Maybe you won’t have any challenging side effects.
