Looking for research re: taking AI drugs vs not taking them

I'm thinking that I am not going to take it. I just started radiation last week. Reading everything thing I can about taking theses drugs before my appointment with the oncologist after the radiation is done. I'll be 80 soon and can't see how all the risks and side effects will help me in the next 10 years. My GP has encouraged me to try, but I don't think I am willing to risk bone loss and joint pain, and the other more serious side effects.

I’m 70, diagnosed with DCIS and maybe a tiny amount of IDC (depends on who you ask!)
I had a lumpectomy and targeted radiation, then had to wait 3 months for a Dexa scan to ensure that my mild osteopenia is stable. (It is).
I see the oncologist tomorrow and am still on the fence whether to take an aromatase inhibitor. I keep researching, and found that women who breastfed tend to have less aggressive BC and their tumors are less likely to return. I breastfed for 2 years total with my 2 kids. My tumor was 8 mm, ER+PR+ and I had no micro calcifications, it was seen by MRI. I was having a slight nipple discharge, and mammogram was negative, ultrasound negative, but MRI showed non mass enhancement. My chance of recurrence is 4-5% without endocrine therapy and 2-3% with it. Not sure that it’s worth it since I worry about heart disease, osteoporosis, etc. like everyone else. What if I don’t have bad side effects? This is really hard. I wish that I knew people that weren’t bothered by them all that much, but they seem to be outliers. If I was 50 or even 60, I’d give it a go, at 70, it doesn’t seem as necessary.
Anyone else heard of the breastfeeding link?

I've mentioned this before. I'm now 84. I had a lumpectomy,chemo and radiation at age 79.I refused AI drugs. I see my oncologist every 6 months and he said that my blood tests show that I am in great health and no signs of cancer.
