Hormone therapy, is it worth it webcast
@kmakm Way to go , Kate! You were awesome! And thanks for having my drug holiday question featured too. I am doing a diary for it but had not contemplated continuing it after resuming the drug but now...
Forum Discussion
What an open ended question.
As you start out the treatment and guidance offered suggests that it is!
Once you are in it then the confusion starts. For some of us it's pre-menopause, peri-menopause or perhaps menopause itself induced by medication rather than menopause taking it's natural path.
Add to it the anxiety of diagnosis followed by scanxiety and then the wretched side effects. Not everyone suffers and some are fortunate for very few if any!
The topic is endless
For those starting out hopefully you'll have a good run at it and the benefit of some of the experiences on here. My Medical Onc is very helpful and clear in explanation. He doesn't make me feel like I am part of a dataset.
I'm on a steroid based AI which is working with a couple of side effects I'm living with. It's taken over 4 years to get to this point of yeah I can cope and I won't say how many kilograms extra but I am here mostly content certainly accepting and looking forward to putting it behind me.
Take care
