aromatose inhibitors

Aromotase Inhibitors. Drugs that shut down estrogen in your body to help cut the chances of recurrence. Anastrozole is one.

I refuse to take them. Would rather have mastectomy and no drugs. I’ve seen the side effects with a good friend. I know they say that everyone is different…I’d rather live my life without the horrible side effects.
