@athena78, I'm sorry to hear that you experienced a recurrence. Your post is a welcome addition to people who are making the challenging decision whether to take an aromatase inhibitor or not. As you know, the decision is really hard. While you wish you had taken it before the cancer had spread, you made your decision with the information and understanding you had at the time.

I see that you are now on treatment and have found lifestyle approaches like exercise, diet and reducing stress to help manage side effects.

For newly diagnosed members who are struggling with the decision, what do you wish you had understood better to inform your decision 2 years ago?
