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

@ginip very interesting about improvements in quality of life in the first year or two with 3 month breaks in therapy. I wondered, since my side effects were the worst when I first started, and my bone loss was worse in the first year than the other 4 years, whether intermittent therapy would somehow pose worse effects, particularly on bones. I would love to see this study after 5 years rather than two!
Overall this could be an encouraging option if adopted in practice and the guidelines. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Please know I did not experience any side effects of consequence during my first year on Anastrozole. This second year has resulted in side effects that have left me considering my quality of life as I opted for a hold from taking Anastrozole suggested by my oncologist . I only found this article of interest as I consider what my my options are going forward. The article is something I did not know might be an option going forward. It is under consideration.

Yes! So much to be considered when trying to decide what to do!
I just wish we could be provided with medical updates for consideration as they happen by our medical caregivers instead of relying on Google for this much needed info in making such a huge decision
