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

I find it odd that theirs no research for those stage 1 or less who opted not to take these meds. I just had mastectomy as well, stage 1 no lymph involvement and stopped with that. So i ask, "Where are the survival rates for those who chose this path?"

Did you have an Oncotyype done? Your risk is double without the meds, so you can do the math. That was researched.

It is quite individual, there is research studies on specific populations.
This would be driven by an onco dx score, and cancer type, grade, age, etc. A cancer that is fed by estrogen will thrive in an estrogen rich environment. Endocrine treatment is definitely an individual decision. I hope you are willing to have a conversation with your doctor about this before you decide.
