I have exactly what you have. I tried tamoxifen and had awful side effects. I have osteoporosis so not eligible for AIs unless I take a bone protecting med also like Zometa. My Oncotype score was 14 which is considered low. If I take hormone therapy I have 4% chance of recurrence after 10 years. If I don’t take hormone therapy I have 8% chance of recurrence. I have decided to do life style changes instead of taking medication because the risk of recurrence is still pretty low. I know several women who have chosen this route also. My surgery was 9/21/2021. Radiation was completed 12/14/2021. Having breast cancer is a crap shot. There is no guarantee that one won’t have a recurrence. I pray everyday I won’t.

Yes like you, I am Stage 1 IDC, low risk. Had Lumpectomy and Radiation, decided not to continue with Anti Hormone Therapy(Anastrazole) and have chosen major Lifestyle changes instead (Naturopathic/Integrative) approach.
I am completely confidant in my decision!!!
