Breast cancer after taking hormone blocking tablets
Has anyone had cancer after taking the hormone blocking tablets?
Hi @AT404
No treatment is 100% effective, unfortunately.
As I understand it, the perecentage difference that it might make to your chance of recurrence can be different for each of us. It depends on your pathology and your doctor is the only person who can give you guidance in this.
If the hormone therapy worked for absolutely everyone with hormone positive cancer than it would be a cure. But that is not the case. There is a lot of research currently being done on why it fails in some situations and what can be done about that. For now, it is the best option we have. xxx
