Jacqueline,

Thanks for sharing your experience-- I'm encouraged that you haven't had too much trouble with the OS and AI. Reading your post, I was surprised by my reaction, which was that I'd do the same thing once my year of Herceptin runs out in May. I will do some more research, consult with a couple 2nd opinion docs and keep thinking about it, but my thinking right now is like yours: what could be more important than to see my son grow up? If it's really miserable, I can stop OS and wait for natural menopause. And we learn new things all the time-- if I can tolerate it even for a little while, it might buy time to learn about new approaches.

Plenty to think about. I really appreciate that you took the time to write. Thank you.
