Yes, it is such a hard choice. I personally do not want to give up my ability to walk & even "move" to music at my senior exercise class (not fancy) & live with pain all the time, as an exchange for saying I'm beating back breast cancer. I'm 76. I've tried 2 AI's which damaged my blood pressure & gave me so much leg & joint pain. I'm now trying Amoxicillin, but 10 mg caused my shoulder & hip joints to ache badly after 3 weeks. I've cut back to 5 mg, but still seems to be doing this, just a little less. GRrrrr. Now checking into Proton radiation to see if it's an option. Sigh, all hormone blockers seem to have this effect on some of us. Thanks for sharing your story.
