After breast cancer: 12 years out, questions about recurrence

Curious why would you take tamoxifen at age 80? Wouldn't you take an aromatase inhibitor? As I wrote before many of us have few or no side effects from these meds. If your pathology showed low risk, including Oncotype, size, ER status, grade etc. this could be a reasonable decision, but I would not be afraid of AI's until tried.

I was prescribed it and Raloxifene. They both made me feel bad and I don't want to take them. I'll read up on aromatase inhibitors , but my oncologist is really good and I'll go with what he thinks is okay. He said I'm younger than my actual age.
