Decide against aromatase inhibitors?

I had ILC and after two lumpectomy procedures and radiation I opted out of estrogen blockers. However, now five years later I have been diagnosed with metastatic bone cancer. It is in my spine and pelvic area. Maybe I should have taken the recommended therapy. I’m now taking Anastrozole. So far it has lowered my tumor markers a little.

So sorry it happens to you! The metastasis could have been caused by dormant cancer cells that decide to wake up. That being the case, then even if you had taken AI, it wouldn't have made any difference. I pray you will be in remission soon. Hugs.
