Hello friends,
I’m an active healthy 73 year old with early Osteopenia. Since this discussion pertains to the inhibitors, I’m chiming in. I had IDC stage 1, no lymph nodes and clean margins post surgery done in Az at Mayo. I stressed and worried for weeks about treatment options, meeting with my Oncologist and Radio Oncologist several times before deciding to opt for a 5 day treatment of radiation and declining the AI treatment. In my case, I felt that the benefit from radiation outweighed the possible benefit with side effects of systemic pill treatment over the 5 yr. route. (Just too many looming negative possibilities with AI). I made the best decision I could considering both doc’s advice, research, family and prayer all considered. Those weeks of stress from August through November were hard. But my prayers and family encouragement made my journey easier. Best and blessings. 😘🙏🏼
