In my humble opinion, what you are missing is actual communication with your doctor.
In this digital age of everything happens in an instant, and conversation doesn’t really happen, this is further exacerbated by overbooked and overburdened doctors offices.
It seems as if they are pretty much giving you everything from soup to nuts in your treatment. This makes sense since there are multiple ways to target this cancer. If this is true, I might ask why, it might be that there is something in your cancer that is a little worrying.
I took a boatload of endocrine therapy and I don’t view as debilitating.
I am not crippled in any way. Yes there are some arthritis issues but I am have always been very active and it would be expected. I am still very active and ride horses and take care of my property.
My thoughts are that I would not risk going through all of that again, not even by 1.6% based on someone else’s experience with a drug.
Did you talk to your oncology team about this worry?

Yes, I have spoken with my oncologist about my concerns. She agrees that 1.6% isn't a huge benefit. I'm looking at it from a cost-benefit analysis and the cons outweigh the pros.
