Aromatase Inhibitors: Did you decide to go on them or not?

I am perplexed. I have just read on this site that Aromatase inhibitors treat breast cancer without the benefit in overall survival. So could someone possibly explain what the point is to our taking this drug. I have just started this drug and I want to make sure that I am doing the right thing.
Thanks

Hi, Katrina. Perhaps a good place to start would be you pointing out what it is exactly that you're reading?

I don't know if this will help, but this is a calculator that doctor's use to tell you if your chances are high for cancer to return. https://www.cts5-calculator.com/ It's been explained to me that aromatase inhibitors do help your chances. I've tried anastrozole and letrozole but did not do well with them and have been on exemestane now and have few problems with it. Because of the types of cancer I have, will need to be on it for 10 years. I wish you well in your decision.
