Can you explain why they asked you to take this as well as anastrozole if you don’t have advanced cancer or a high risk for recurrence?

I believe, since March of 2023 the FDA approved this drug for cancer. I’m thinking that the pharmaceutical companies will get a kick back from the doctors who prescribe this medicine. Maybe some of us need it due to high reoccurrence of breast cancer. Which is good thing but some of might. I am going to opt out of taking this drug. And infection is another issue. I have animals and getting a scarp from them would be a bad thing. Thanks for all of your input. Helped me decide.
