This was not meant to be adversarial, just informative. If you think my comment is not aligned with Mayo values, I apologize. I will report myself.
I just clicked on that link and it went to the research news page on breast cancer.org.
I am not nudging you to not share facts, I might be nudging you to either post the links as Colleen has asked on another page of all of us, or stick to personal experience.
I might be nudging this conversation to expand to include more than tests available for risk, and bone health, as I believe an expanded conversation encourages more people to post, not just more posts.

I did post the links to three different studies citing the 50+% non-compliance rate fir women discontinuing anti-hormone therapy within the first 5 years. I don't see them here so don't know where they went. But it was requested that I provide the sources for that statistic, and I did, and if anyone wants more information, please message me privately.

The link went to the article, not the study. The link to the study cited in the article went to an error page.
I have found errors of fact on breastcancer.org (and other sites). Therefore, I always go to the actual study to read it for myself. But, because the link isn't there, I have no idea if the study is accurately reflected or if, as frequently happens, the writer cherry-picked data points out of context.
I've posted links to many studies in the short time that I've been a member. Or have provided links where asked but I do not have a complete bibliography of everything I've read at hand. I'm not certain that that lofty standard is being consistently applied though which is a different point.
At any rate, since I'm not taking anastrozole, I have no personal experience to share. I mistook this as a venue for those considering taking it and wanting to know the pros and cons others already know about the drug.
Whether you report yourself isn't an issue for me either way. It seems silly to me, and you certainly don't need to on my behalf, but I admit to possibly not understanding this forum.
