PS. I decided not to take drugs to block estrogennow because I had such a hard menopause emotionally all those years ago . I was taking estrogen/progesterone all the way up to receivng a cancer diagnoisis. i feel that's why I got the cancer as no one I know of in my family, all the way back to grandparents has had breast cancer except me.
Ironically, I think the estrogen it's self kept me younger . The oncologist said I'm younger than my actual age.

@raebaby ask your doc but I believe the drop in estrogen with aromatase inhibitors is less than the drop at menopause. But also did your doc mention tamoxifen at all? It is wonderful that you are feeling so good at 81!

I'm with you on that page. My menopause started with a lot of problems, like hemorrhage, not just heavy bleeding, at the most awkward times, like at work with customers? So, my doctor put me on estrogen/progesterone to stop it, which worked. She kept me on this for about 6 years, until there was some type of alarm bells and doctors took their patients off it. So, like you I had no woman in my very large Irish family that had any cancer, much less breast? So, as my cancer was estrogen dependent that's at least part of the reason I got breast cancer. And like you I look younger than my age, 79, with natural black hair, which people think it's dyed. It's not! I also have decided not to have any Arimidex, because I feel having taken estrogen/progesterone before which messed with my body, I'm not going to fool around with my body again, especially as it makes your bones weaker. Then another pill for that. No. Blessings on your forward journey.
