Is there anyone that had estrogen positive cancer, without use of AI?

I was diagnosed with estrogen + breast cancer in 2015, had lumpectomy, chemotherapy & radiation. Just recently I have been diagnosed with breast cancer metastasis in my bones and not sure where else. I am hoping it is early on and medication can slow or control growth and prevent spread. Not sure yet what my treatment plan will be. Will find out more 8/16.

Did you take AI? What stage was your original breast cancer? Did you have an Oncotype? Any positive nodes. Wishing you the best . May I ask how old you ?

I seldom am able to comment, but your case almost parallels mine . Since 2018 have had 2 lumpectomies in same breast. Did nothing the first time, but added 15 radiation and Tamoxifen treatments the second time in 2021.
Now (by July 2023 ) pain and tests verified metastases to the bones ( upper spine).
Oncologist stopped Tamoxifen and prescribed aromatase inhibitor(letroxole),which I hesitate to take due to its bone thinning effect (age 81). Will see him in a month at which time he will add herceptin and possibly bone augmenting drug, the latter I also am not happy about. Will discuss this all with him in a month from now.
Hope to share our treatment types and results.💕
