Some are not given this choice. I was told surgery, radiation, and an aromatase inhibitor plus bone drug. I had to say NO.

My body couldn’t handle those drugs. I’ve been on prednisone for 3 years for PMR.
I have osteoporosis now so I cant take the best estrogen inhibitor, and tamoxifen puts estrogen in the uterus. It recommended for premenopausal women now. It would reactivate my endometriosis and possible give me uterine cancer.
It was a hard choice for me , but I wanted to do something after lumpectomy. There is also no grantantee that the meds would help me. It seems like now you might have to take them forever.?
We’ll have to hopefully make the right choices for ourselves. No one else can make them for you.
I have done a ton research too.
So what are you going to do now?
