Thoughts on Aromatase Inhibitors?

[embur102]

Hello everyone!

I will be enjoying my last Taxol infusion this AM--YEA! Reduced dosage due to neuropathy.

My onc wants to add hormone therapy due to 15% ER+ (PR-).

I have many conflicting feelings, complicated by:
(1)Tamoxifen would be the drug-of-choice for my age (48) and premenopausal
status, however, it is contraindicated with the Prozac I take daily.
(2) He wants to push me through menopause with hormone injections so I can take an aromatase inhibitor
(3) AI side effects include cardiovascular/heart issues and significant bone loss/increased risk of fractures
(4) Heart is already taking a beating (no pun intended) with Adria and Herceptin
(5) I already have significant bone loss for a woman of my age
(6) Is 15% ER+ really that significant to warrant treatment--(HER2+++ is more likely to recur than 15% ER+, yes??)

I will be doing more research before I decide, but wanted to hear your thoughts/experiences.

Thank you, Sisters-In-Pink!!
