francine6829 - Whether the doctors recommend staying on the AI's does depend on the Stage and Grade of your cancer, the treatment you received and your side effects. In my case, Stage 1 cancer, my recurrence risk (according to statistic, which are only one consideration and the genomic testing of my cancer) I am 'low risk'. The AI's would essentially reduce my risk of recurrence by 40-50% but my risk was already low at 6%, so it helped me with my decision. Serious side effects or going from 6% to about 3% risk was not worth it for me. That's not many people's situation I realize. If your risk is higher then of course, if you can get through the AI use, then reducing that risk is paramount.
I opted for a bi lateral mastectomy which put me in a situation to have some options on follow up treatment. But my cancer was lobular and had presented in both breasts over time, so .............opting for the mastectomy was also an easier decision.
There are so many factors to consider in treatment. My doctors would have preferred I stay on AI's as well. Their job is to eradicate cancer and their benchmark for success with their patients is treating and keeping cancer at bay.
Hugs to you. I hope you can keep on the full course of AI treatment and give cancer a good kick in the pants!

I had a very small amount of Estrogen. After speaking with Intergrative Medicine Oncologist, I found out the food we eat is full of hormones. The doctors aren't just concerned with the hormones we make but also those we get from our food! My Doctor has asked me to go organic, hormone free dairy and grass fed meats.
