Dear SunshineViolet​
@Arpie is right - you need to discuss the matter first with your oncologist. Cancers vary a lot, so do treatments, depending on your cancer type, age, health etc. While you may possibly be advised that hormonal therapy may not make much difference, it's always wise to get electrical advice from an electrician, not a plumber! Both very skilled, but different trades. Treatments also change over time - when I started hormonal therapy (and I had no radiation) it was intravenous and five years was the standard recommendation. Four years in, there was sufficient evidence to say that ten years gave a better result. That was a decade ago and there will be more information/research to factor into a decision now.
The efficacy of any treatment is sometimes hard to measure. I remain NED (no evidence of disease) 14 years after diagnosis. Did my ten years on Letrozole work? Maybe. I don't know. I'm not sure that anyone can say that with absolute certainty. My oncologist had no doubts about recommending it. I might have had the same result with no treatment. But like Arpie, I know that if I hadn't had the treatment, and my cancer had recurred, I would have deeply regretted my decision not to have it. Treatment is full of decisions - it doesn't make life any easier, but a strong sense that you won't regret a decision, based on the full information available to you and irrespective of the end result, is a good indicator of your feelings and personal preferences. Good luck and best wishes.
