Looking for research re: taking AI drugs vs not taking them

Yes, great factual response. We have to understand the statistics as they pertain to us, individually. I refused AI treatment after Stage1 treatment including surgery and short term radiation. Factored in: stage, age, Onco Typing, current bone density, all factors being weighed. Risks and side effects outweighed benefits. AI treatment has multiple side effects. Do loads of research as it pertains to You. God Bless😘

I made the same decision. ILC Grade 1, stage 2, .7mm tumor, lumpectomy clear margins, no lymph nodes involvement. Genetic score 5, so very low risk. Had 5 days of the more intense radiation. Reducing my chance of recurrence from less than 3 percent after radiation, (according to oncologist), was not worth giving up the quality of life I have and want to continue at this point. I am 68. I wholeheartedly accept the fact it is a risk, but one I choose to take. Good luck to everyone!!!
