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

@marcia115 anastrozole is one of the aromatase inhibitors.

When you say your cancer has "come back," has it spread? Or is it a limited local recurrence? If it spreads, you cannot easily just "have it out." With cancer spread, there are treatments that extend our lives but no cure.

Unfortunately, for those of us with ER+ cancers, risk goes up over the years, not down.

@windyshores my cancer has not spread, it is limited to one spot. I have had cancer of the
lung two years ago so there not sure if after breast surgery I can take radiation. I go Monday
for a consultation.
