Hi PN,

Thanks for your response to my question - that info was very useful. That would be great if you would ask Dr. Winer the question again. While I do trust my onc completely, sometimes it is hard not to wonder if we are doing everything possible to keep this disease at bay. She is very open to discussing all treatment options with me and really listens to what I have to say. This is why I have held off forcing the switch to the AI. I think it makes all the difference in the world when you have faith in your doctors.

I have a feeling you are going to do just fine with your treatment. My onc said this to me the first time we met and she was right! My side effects were very tolerable, and while I didn't enjoy losing all my hair it was far less devastating than I thought it would be. I'm no longer in treatment (except for Tamoxifen) and am doing well - a little more tired than before bc, but still going strong!

Best of luck with your treatment. Please keep in touch and let us know how you are doing.

All my best,
