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.

From what I read, there are dozens of calculators. I'm guessing that one would have to ask one's oncologist which s/he uses, yes? In addition, wouldn't such factors as type of breast cancer and its hormone receptor and HER-2 statuses need to be included in determining recurrence risks?
