Anyone premenopausal and taking AI ???

At a recent conference I attended, I spoke with a pathologist/bc researcher from M.D. Anderson regarding my low (less than 15%) ER positivity... and Tamoxifen...
I stopped taking tamoxifen due to nasty side effects.
The pathologist stated that AI's are given to premenopausal bc patients and that the drug is actualy better than tamoxifen anyway. What is provided to us is usually how informed the onc is regarding what is "out there" and how they keep up with latest treatments.

Anyway- she reminded me of the risk that DCIS poses and that no matter how uncomfortable we are with drugs- we have to treat ourselves aggressively -all the time.

So, I pose the question- Is there anyone on this board that takes an AI and is still premenopausal ???
