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

It does seem like any reduction in the hormones that encourage our cancers would be beneficial. I applaud your tenacity. As @windyshores said, I think some side effects are from the loss of hormone and may be the same. Like any strong drugs there is a risk of other side effects that are just too painful to sustain. I am happy you are getting through it and I know your story will help others that are struggling with it. Thank you for sharing your journey.
May I ask how far out from original diagnosis you are?

I'm 4 years out from diagnosis, original tumor was invasive ductal and second one at second surgery was neuroendocrine. I had uterus and ovaries removed at age 44 and am now 70, but even with ovaries gone my ER+ was 95%! I also had a thalamic stroke affecting my right arm and right leg two years ago so cannot go on Tamoxifen. God provides us many adventures...the trick is to keep going!
