Re: Aromatase Inhibitors/Weakly ER +
I have a strong E- % --- however after I, too, can not find anything strongly motivating enough to make me go on hormone therapy .... and the last few names of drugs my oncologist gave me to research (here in Italy - so I have to do my research in english as I don't read really well in Italian!) but ... both the drug options were for post menapausal women. At that point, I just thought, it can't be this hard! And, I am going to just pass - no thanks. Not going to put my body into more shock --- and the risks are really high for side effects and the benefits (for us Her2 +++) well, the jury seems to be out on that one.
So, not sure if I helped, but I'm opting to not do it.
