Hi @soooz. It's pretty daunting eh. Your oncologist should be able to give you a percentage number that is your benefit from taking an AI. Spin that out to 1000 people if your benefit is 2%, are you prepared to be in that group of 20 people whose cancer does recur, or will you be happy to take your chances that you'll be in the 980 people group.
Ask your oncologist why they are putting you on Exemestane rather than one of the other AIs. That might elicit some useful information.

These drugs are very effective at starving any remaining cancer cells of food, that's why they're prescribed. Be confident that there's a good reason why you're taking them. K xox
