Ladies so nice to meet you all! First I can say I feel blessed to have been treated by mayo and all the science they put into choosing my treatment plan. I am from 10 hours away and I couldn’t sort my best breast cancer treatment there. I have had the works, chemo, mastectomy, radiation and I am on tamoxifen.. so far so good! I choose to do as much as I can to learn and contribute to a healthy outcome. I walk most days for 30 minutes because it lowers return risk by up to 30-40%, I eat mostly healthy cuz I like to.. I am in pt with mayo now so I can learn how to love my joints when I start an AI. Which one should I seek out first? I want to be wildly alive yet and able to help others.. I think I have been blessed with more time just want to do my best with it. 🙏🏼 Thank you for any suggestions

Hi @yahomich, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. What a lovely introduction to get to know a bit about you. After having had chemo, mastectomy, radiation, and now tamoxifen, I see you are considering and researching aromatase inhibitors. For that reason, I moved your message to this existing discussion called, "Aromatase Inhihibitors: Did you decide to go on them or not?" If you click VIEW & REPLY, you can scroll through all the fabulously informative posts by fellow members.
Good for you for taking control and walking and eating well.
Yahomich, I'd be curious to know, what have you been told by your oncologist so far about the different AI options? Is one being suggested over the others? Or is the choice completely yours?
