I am 17% Est. and 15% prog. I would guess that too is considered weak. Neither one of my two oncologists questioned going on an AI. I even had a hysterectomy at the age of 41 in order to be on an AI rather then tamoxifen.
I hope maybe you find some insight so I can learn as well. I have oftened wondered if I really should be on it as well.
Thanks for posting a great question.
