Has anyone with a low risk of cancer coming stopped taking the hormone blocker? Mine is a 19% chance of coming back. This hormone is killing me.

Hi @queenmary25, Many women weigh the pros and cons of taking an aromatase inhibitor like anastrozole against the risk of recurrence. You are not alone with this difficult decision. For that reason, I moved your message to this existing discussion called "Aromatase Inhibitors: Did you decide to go on them or not?" so that you can connect with other members like @mimi99 @cindylb @elvandi @mollyjbrown @buckimom @jeannie53 @lisman1408 @tessfair1 @trixie1313 and others. Click VIEW & REPLY to read a variety of choices women made to discontinue based on low risk, others who switched to a different AI and yet others who found strategies that worked for them to manage the side effects.

Everyone is different of course and the final decision is for you to make with counsel from your oncologist and perhaps your family too.

Queenmary, what type of breast cancer do you have? Have you tried any of the other aromatase inhibitors?
