don't want to do chemo or hormone therapy

I am 63 my diagnosis and treatment thus far echo your own.I too am nervous about hormone therapy- have been offered aromatase inhibitors for 5 years to prevent recurrence and prolia to counteract bone fractures.I have spoken to several ladies on line and am swinging around to trying it - the discussion is under this heading called Terrified of Hormone Therapy. I did not need chemo.Hope this helps - read the advice I was given by some wonderful women .I am also seeing my gp, surgeon before my next medical oncologist appointment . I had multiple dental extractions and implants last weekend as serious dental under hormone therapy risks osteonecrosis of the jaw.I have osteoporosis and have had 2 tia.I kind of wish I was offered tamoxifen as it builds bones and has a 40 year treatment history - you can move between drugs if their effects are too much.Aromatase inhibitors are said currently to be better protection and prolia is also said to contribute to this as well as build bone.Kath is right you must talk and question your medical team - the bcna kit is helpful in that regard with suggested questions and a diary to record answers - my memory is not great at the moment possibly because of the stress of the past few months.Also there is much support around if you reach out for it including on this site - the worst time for me was last week after radiotherapy ended - I needed chat to others with bc to know it would be ok and it can be gotten thru.I think the clue is talk,talk,talk - do not bottle it up and take one step at a time.There are many of us in the same boat - apparently 48 new diagnoses a day plus many more who have gotten through well beyond the 5 years and are living and enjoying life.
