To do or not to do ?
This is the question that I'm wracking my brain. Do I stay on the
A.I s it's been 6 yrs. I started with tamoxifen then switched to an AI
After my oop ! It seems many of you have options . I'm confused, wouldn't I
Have to stop if my onc says this is not the current practice to continue A.I beyond 5 yrs..
I really don't know what to do. I was node neg, but T was 2.5 no vascular involvement. Had my ovaries yanked for good luck. I miss my estrogen(for lots of things, that's another conversation) back to the AIs, I'm not loving them. Biggest s/e is my spinal pain which they tell me is arthritis,insomnia and fatigue.
I'm thinking I want to come off ... But I'm bloody triple positive which means what exactly. No one say much about us really. So I'm highly er +++, her2 +++the oop should rid most er. The AI now impact my fat producing er.
Do AI really do much for the her2 ?
Should I switch back to tamoxifen for 4 more years, try to save my bones and heart ... What about the heart ! I need that for a few more years.
I know this is such a wonderful place to be but I'm done analyzing every thing.
Sorry I'm rambling just having a moment where I'm ready to move on.
We've done so well but these s/e are a real mood deflator through the yrs . Thanks to all of you . I know I can come back any time or when I'm stuck.
Off to bed !!
