Mastectomy 42 triple negative diagnosis

Well then @Shellbelle_75, you'll be looking at hormone therapy after your active treatment has finished. Broadly speaking, that means Tamoxifen if you're pre-menopausal, or if you're post-menopausal, an AI (aromatase inhibitor) which you'll see referred to as Letrozole/Femara, Anastrozole/Arimidex, and Exemestane/Aromasin. Your cancer uses oestrogen to grow, so these medications virtually stop oestrogen thereby starving any new tumour that's looking to grow. Well that's the theory anyway! They don't always work but generally speaking, the docs like the oestrogen receptor positive cancers because these drugs reinforce the active methods used to get rid of your cancer. K xox
