I have no argument with "trying it," but I think prospective patients should be aware that, often, the oncologist is NOT going to give an accurate idea of the side effects that could occur. Mi ne did admit that ANY of my many side effects were connected to the toxic pills, saying things like, "You're just old." It is logical to say, "Well, I'll try it and see." HOWEVER, I tried it and it crippled me and now I have liver issues that stem from "something you took that your liver didn't like." It's been almost 3 years since my tumor was found on Dec. 7, 2021. I regret not knowing how toxic A.I. pills would be to someone like me with severe osteoarthritis and damaged joints from both bicycling and volleyball accidents. After all, I had been in a nationwide study (MOST) of osteoarthritic joints for nearly 20 years, so a good oncologist might have taken that into account and suggested Tamoxifen, which doesn't attack bone density, but mine was too busy never showing up for any appointments and playing God. I also regret never having been told the truth about dense breasts, which started this whole saga back in 2018 when I was called back for my first (of 3) stereotactic biopsy. I suggest that anyone who HAS dense breasts (or knows anyone with the condition) check out this site:https://mydensitymatters.org/programs/my-story-matters/
