Decide against aromatase inhibitors?

My bottle of Anastrazol sitting unopened, too scared to even try it. Stage 1, triple positive. Had mastectomy and chemo, herception for a year ( never got an onco number?). 67 yrs old and have osteoporosis already. Seeing oncologist later this month, I'm sure she'll not be happy with me for not at least trying the med. I think I remember her saying a 1-2% benefit from A1's, did anybody else hear that as well?

Each case is different, so be careful about generalizing. I think a good oncologist and endocrinology, if you find a good team, can hopefully help you with both issues. Ask again if you don't remember the odds, because they are different for different tumor stages. So important to make the right decisions, yet so hard to do so. That's why as I stated in an earlier post I'm traveling to a different city to get another opinion.

The benefit from AIs varies from patient to patient. Whatever your oncologist told you is correct for you, but not for another person. It sounds like you have had a fair amount of treatment already. How did it go for you, and how are you feeling?
