I am so sorry you have gone through all of this like all of the rest of us. It is a very personal issue and decision we all have to make. Had I just invasive ductal carcinoma, I probably would think about going off of the AI as well, however, my second lesion is neuroendocrine cancer which is highly aggressive and very rarely presents in the breast first (it usually presents in the intestine or liver). So I require PET scans every 6 months as when it pops up elsewhere, the chemo then would be the same as for oat cell ca of the lung.

Jeanie - I was thinking about you on my daily walk. Have you tried knitting to help with your hands? I've been knitting dishcloths each night while watching TV...yes, it's crazy, I have over 150 now and will be either selling them or giving to family! However, it helps loosen up my fingers. Another thing is I use walking sticks on my walks and you tend to keep grabbing the tops with your hands so it keeps pumping the circulation. I still tend to have stiffness, but not as bad as without working the fingers out a bit. Hope this helps.
