OF course I meant it suppresses estrogen - the hormones that the cancer was being fed upon by being ER+ and PR+. The statistics I wrote were the ones I was told & yes I did google it & read many studies - back in 2018 when diagnosed. I get a DEXA scan annually and told her to get all the info she needed to make a informed decision. I did not mean to get into an argument to anyone.

No argument. I just wanted to clarify the function of the aromatase inhibitors in case others are still learning what they're for and what they do.

Just a note that most insurance companies will only approve having a DexaScan every 2 years and not yearly.

ALL women over 50 should begin to have a DexaScan to keep an eye on the development of osteopenia and osteoporosis. ♥️
