11 days agoI have hormone receptor-positive breast cancer and my oncologist explained two main endocrine therapy approaches. One option involves inducing menopause first and then using hormone-blocking medications. The other uses hormone therapy alone without changing my menopause status. Both aim to block the hormones that can fuel cancer growth and reduce recurrence risk. I'd love to hear from others who faced similar decisions about their experiences, especially anyone who was ER positive, PR negative, HER2 positive, had a mastectomy, completed TCHP chemo, Radiation, a
a full year of Fesgo shots and was younger than 40 at diagnosis. I’m currently 39.
• If you had hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, which endocrine therapy approach did you choose and how did you make that decision?
• What was your experience like with whichever option you went with?
