Aromatase Inhibitors: Did you decide to go on them or not?

Hello,
Like you my Oncotype score is 10, but I don't see on my report where it would be 6% for distant recurrence without AI (only says 3% with AI). I had a local recurrence after 2.5 yrs, did not take AI, but am hoping local and distant are two very different things....I will try AI this time around.
Could you let me know where the 'without AI' percentage is found on the report?
Thanks!

Hello,
To the right of the Oncotype score it says on mine the % of distant reoccurrence is 3% if taking AI or tamoxifen. I don’t think AI decrease your chance of reoccurrence by double so I was being generous by stating 6%. My odds are less
By having a mastectomy I decrease my odds even more of a reoccurrence locally and distance.
But we all will worry about it coming back forever unfortunately.
