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

@anjalima that is an assumption on my part (that high ER score would mean lower Oncotype), since the avoidance of chemo would seem to depend on the effectiveness of hormonal treatment. I believe the company told me this as well, but it was a long time ago.
Also, my cancer pathology was not good at all (grade 3, high ki67%, LVI) but my ER was 95% and my Oncotype was low. I reasoned that the only reason my Oncotype was low and recommended against chemo, was my high ER score. But ask your doc!

Wow! That does sound right. I had 98% and 99% ER positive on each of 2 foci… KI 20 and 22, but low ONCOTYPE. I do take AI … now in month 7 but recommended for 5 years… to be evaluated for 7-10. I’m fortunate that I tolerate this well ( for the side effects that I can observe). I will ask that question however and get back if there is any nuance to the concept. 🌸
