Breast cancer after taking hormone blocking tablets

Oh I plan to take them, but just wanted to see to what extend you are protected compared with side effects.
Thanks for your advice, all of you.

Hi @AT404
This is a query you should putting to your oncologist as we are all different (i.e. different cancers of different grades, different treatments and we are of different ages) and the statistics they use for their percentages are calculated on all these factors.
In my case, age and other health issues as well as medications, they determined that statistics to show that there was minimal benefit in relation to the possible side effects.
If the use of the drugs concerns you do seek guidance from your medical team. In the end, though, it is your decision as to whether to take them - they can only recommend.
Just be sure you won't later regret the decision you make.

From a personal point of view can't answer that but have read several ladies having recurrences years down the track and some were on hormone therapy - gather hormone therapy reduces risk but not iron clad guarantee so vigilance is required by ourselves and our medical support - the latter monitor carefully with regular mammograms etc
