Stop the Madness (stopped taking my AIs)

I tried AIs and Tamoxifen and after serious discussion with provider and my recurrence rate, I decided to take the risk. I also had chemo, which reduced the recurrence rate.

Have you discussed the side effects or not taking any medications with your oncologist?
