I asked my oncologist thevsame question and his answer was essentially whatever the amount of estrogen I am still producing, it was enough to support an estrogen positive tumor. Not the answer I wanted to hear and not even the complete story as estrogen blockers don't reduce the risk to 0% but it was thought-provoking.

When I insisted to have my estrogen level checked my 1st oncologist was flippant about it but ordered the blood test. The result came back <10. 🤷🏼‍♀️ He said that was good! I believe he said ‘normal’ was like 35 My thinking is they prs robe Anastrazole as a One Size fits all. Someone that has Stage 4 cancer vs Stage 1. Same dose. 200lb person vs 130 lb person. Same dose. Does not seem right. And the oncologists don’t seem to be too concerned about the bone effects from Anastrazole. We must all remain diligent in advocating for our own health. Be Proactive. Question our doctors.
