I'm so sorry to read about what you're going through. I chose not to take an aromatase inhibitor in part because I have the genetic marker for, and a nuclear family full of, heart disease. However, I question you doctor's thinking that a static could not work. My former (great) cardiologist invented the calcium store and has patients in their 90s who had their first heart attack in their thirties and are alive and active today. Please do search out some more proactive physicians. I had to do it after moving to a new area but it was worth it. I've had high cholesterol for a zillion years but the echocardiagram of someone decades younger. And I cannot take statins. The human body is complicated and fascinating and isolating a variable here and another there does not tell the whole story. Best wishes in getting a new medical team to work with you.
