Hormone Therapy
Hello, I would like to know of any ladies who are Triple Negative and are taking Hormone Therapy due to a very low percentage of PR and ER. I live in Mareeba North Queensland. I start Radiotherapy on...

Hi Meree,
I'm wondering if you mean hormone treatment? The ladies who responded are talking about hormone replacement therapy.
I'm also triple negative, but was diagnosed with ER+ the first time round. The cancer came back as triple negative. The Oncologist didn't really know whether I should take the tabs or not (I was an unusual case) and said it was up to me if I wanted to continue the hormone therapy from the first cancer. He said it wouldn't hurt. Worst case scenario is that it wouldn't do anything! So I changed from Arimidex which caused joint pain and bone loss, to Tamoxifen. It's much better!! Very tolerable.
So I'd say yes. The treatment at least will prevent a positive cancer coming back. There's not much we triple negatives can do about preventing a negative one eh.
Cheers
Diane
