@jmab so you’re saying hormone receptors pills keep cancer away if you take them as opposed to not?

@brooklyn22 Hormone BLOCKERS reduce rates of cancer recurrance. Yes, absolutely, 100%.

@brooklyn22 Just to add in. If the question is do Aromatase Inhibitors such as letrozole and others keep estrogen positive breast cancer from coming back and/or spreading--the answer is yes. Tamoxifen does the same. The odds are different for each person. Or are you asking something different? I've been on letrozole for 3 1/2 years. No side effects. My rare aggressive cancer has not reappeared--a good sign the letrozole is working. (I did not have chemo due to kidney disease). Hope this clarifies.
