Wow, you may be correct about the risk/benefit analysis. If you look closely at the numbers, they may indicate a small advantage. However, the high risk of some side effects negates the small numerical outcome. I am choosing radiation over AI. I have osteopenia and other concerns. I am 73 and want the best active years ahead to spend with my Grandbabies. Praying for God’s wisdom. Blessings to you.

Thanks for your reply and your kind thoughts. I don't have grandchildren yet, but I do have a husband and 29 year old son I want to be around for. I don't have any bone conditions yet, but I have some family history of osteoporosis. I was offered radiation but I declined that. I didn't like the idea of it, and I read online that radiation for my type of cancer didn't yield any advantage for women over 70, which I am. My oncologist agreed with my decision on radiation. However, I need to talk to him about what alternatives there might be to AI, if any. Good luck to you.
