I was unable to take the aromatase drugs (due to side effects). I was also early stage 1 lobular cancer. I did opt for the bi lateral mastectomy which had reduced my risk a great deal, which made not taking the drugs a little less worrisome. But, I also asked my oncologists to check my hormone levels (blood tests) on a regular basis, reduced my weight by over 20 pounds and was very careful what I ate. I avoided parabens in lotion products and visited with a homeopathic doctor who suggested I avoid soy products (I've heard this is good and also not good, so.......), sugar, ate a lot of cruiciferous veggies, etc. I don't know if any of it made any difference or if I got lucky BUT........none of the things I did hurt me and probably made me healthier. My blood tests showed and continue to show extremely low levels of estrogen, no progesterone and no testosterone (I may just be dead and don't know, ha ha). I think the blood tests are key because once I saw the really low levels there wasn't much for the cancer to feed on and grow. I was post menopausal when I was diagnosed, so my hormones would of course be lower. I will celebrate my five year anniversary this month cancer free so far!
Good luck to you. Hugs.
