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

I have a 10 percent chance of recurrence if I did not take them and a 5 percent chance if I did take them. I never started. I figured those were not significant odds. I will just be alert to any changes in my body. Blessings in whatever you decide to do. It is not an easy decision.

Everyone here is a Warrior. Brings tears to my eyes. All this information so heartfelt, but so diverse so hard to know what course, if any, to take, I go with Jane, I'm 79, active, and off the record, both my primary and surgeon agreed, they got margins and lymph nodes thankfully were clear, I'm not doing anything at this point, like Jane, listening to my body and being overall alert. Quality has to mean something. But it is a highly personal decision and certainly not easy. Sadly I'm still fighting for a proper oncologist, which I do believe is so important to all of us. I know we all pray for a cure, if they could do it with Covid, they can do it for us! Hang in!

@queenmary25 @jana15 Tried Anastrozole for 6 months it did not agree with me. Talked to my doctor about my risk numbers which were exactly like yours Jana15. I figured with the age of my diagnosis which was 65 I'll take my chances and go with quality of life. It's a difficult choice to make and one I always hope is the correct one. So far so good.
