The Choice to walk away from AIs ...... some women are!
An interesting article on AIs and those choosing to not take them. I’ll continue taking mine tho ..... The Choice to Walk Away From Aromatase Inhibitors September 1, 2017 Bonnie Annis ...
While I can well understand the desire to stop taking AI meds, I feel one element that was suggested in the article should come with a monster red flag; alternative therapies will not provide the same level of protection against cancer recurrence. Diet, lifestyle, supplements etc can influence your health, but any suggestion they can used as an alternative to medication that restricts access to the fuel your cancer needs to grow is irresponsible.
Yes, the author adds her own caveat that the decision to stop is her own choice and she has no medical knowledge, however you only have to look at the survival rates since these drugs have been routinely prescribed to realise they do serve a purpose. Much as we hate taking them. And I do hate taking them.
