@LMK74 there's always so much to digest isn't there? seems neverending, never clear cut at all. I just wanted to say for me having had only DCIS and aggressive treatment in 2011, I had a recurrence in 2015, it returned as IDC 2.5cm tumor Stage 2 Grade 3 but am only ER+. Chemo threw me into menopause and caused osteoporosis....so the AI didn't. I wouldnt even know I had it, that's the truth...I also have Prolia injections every 6 months..big deal and again wouldn't know I had it. In my case, an AI only offers about 2-3% chance of no further recurrence and the other bonus I have is Prolia plays a massive role in prevention too LOL, go figure. So for me after a recurrence and eventhough a year later had a mastectomy, I'l take 2-3% even only being ER+ the AI to be honest, yeah Ive had some trouble but nearly 2yrs post chemo Im used to it, nothing that prevents me getting on with life at all...I'm 49. For me, I couldnt have it happen again not knowing I didn't do everything possible even if I had only 2-3% so at 10% I actually think that's massive! something to think about.
Nobody can make that decision for you, it's so incredibly personal and everyone has their own experience...you will find the right thing for you...afterall this is about you nobody else.
