I am going to jump in here and post this because it is more aligned with the statistics I deal with in my circle of friends.
I also feel like we need to focus on helping women process the best decision for themselves. This means helping them to understand their situation based on our lived experience of taking these drugs, or the process of deciding not to take them. https://www.breastcancer.org/research-news/not-taking-hormonal-tx-leads-to-more-recurrence

I don't know if I'm being nudged to stop mentioning studies which I've read because they might be unpopular. I don't know if tilting facts toward a desired conclusion is the requirement here. And I don't know if 'the values of Mayo Clinic' are such that open discourse about drug choices are discouraged. [I was a patient of Mayo Clinic in the past.l

If I'm participating in the wrong community, I will of course move to one more encouraging of fact-based sharing.

But I do know that the article you just cited cites a study on a webpage that doesn't exist as I just clicked on it.

Whereas I know that the studies I read are the studies themselves.
I have been scrupulously diligent in making sure that I post facts or, when just posting my opinion, identify it as such.

I thought and think that people seeking information on others' experiences with drugs, treatments and medical protocols are hoping to get a balanced perspective and that discouraging the realities of some actual negatives cannot be in keeping with Mayo Clinic's approach to the art and science of medicine,
