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

As I read these concerns regarding the use of AI meds, I wonder if any have had the ovaries removed or a complete hysterectomy if the side effects have been intolerable. A friend of mine had that surgery and thought it solved the problem. True? If so, why not more recommendation of such rather than just skip the meds altogether?

The ovaries are not the only thing that creates estrogen in your body. In my late 40s and early 50s I was on tamoxifen for 5 years/ complete hysterectomy during that time period. 9 years later breast cancer was discovered in my left breast. Currently on AI. Yes there are side effects but I’m living a full life!!
