@debraw I did 5 years and wanted to do more. But I did a test called Breast Cancer Index that showed no benefit from further treatment. I miss the letrozole. I swear I felt better on it, and certainly felt safer.

Everyone is different. I have friends who took an aromatase inhibitor and none of them had big problems. Keep in mind that people may be more likely to post or even be on a forum when their experiences are negative.

I would consider trying meds but I would also say it takes awhile to assess, at least in my experience.

I had to avoid radiation so meds were my best bet. Like I said, everyone and every case is different so respect to you in whatever you choose.

Thank you for sharing your experience and advice. Yes, it would be helpful to hear more positive comments about meds for those of us on the fence trying to make decisions.
