Is there anyone that had estrogen positive cancer, without use of AI?

Regarding dose for AI's: if the med is effective at, say, 20% of usual dose, meaning it suppresses estrogen produced by the adrenals post-menopause- then wouldn't the side effects be the same regardless of dose? Are all the side effects from estrogen suppression?
My oncologist did say that I could do alternate days to reduce side effects, but I still wonder how a reduced dose would reduce side effects when estrogen suppression would happen with alternate days as well.

Maybe 20% is the correct effective dosage and 100% is overdose and brings on side effects affecting your body in other ways that is causing the side effects. Just guessing, as why would doctor prescribe higher dose that 20% is effective.
