@brightlight66 it's called Predict Breast cancer. When I took the "test" it showed no difference when I put in using AI and not using AI. You have to have all your info from the biopsy and surgery to fill it out. I had to get out the paperwork from my biopsy and surgery to fill out the form so it was more exact with it's prediction. I was on anastrozole and couldn't handle the side effects. I tried it 3 different times within a 3 month period and each time I got different side effects. First it was pain in my joints and muscles that was terrible,, I couldn't lift my right arm above my shoulder and the fatigue was off the charts. The second time I added a few things I saw on another site like tart cherry for the joint pain and claratin and took them all at night thinking the fatigue wouldn't be as bad, but I was wrong. The third time I had all the previous symptoms and a new one, depression and terrible mood swings. They wanted me to go on tamoxifen and the symptoms are basically the same with an added risk of ovarian or uterine cancer. I just can't justify trading one cancer for the risk of another. Besides that I am on antidepressants and that cuts the effectiveness of the tamoxifen in half so what is the point.
