Has Anyone Refused Hormone Reducing Drugs?
I have had chemo and radiation. Next step is hormone reducing drugs.
Has anyone done the chemo and radiation
But not the drugs?
I have been on all of the hormone blockers! Tamoxifen and anaztrozol , letrozol, etc after total hysterectomy. None have worked! I had a reoccurance on tamoxifen after 2 years. Then on letrozol after 13 months. Another reoccurance. Now taking falzodex injections and ibance pill. Who knows maybe i would have had a reoccurance sooner without meds, maybe not. Such hard decisions to make
I had stage 3 bc and in 2 lymph nodes. I had chemo and rad and was put on tamoxefin couldn't stand the side effects was taken off of it and didn't take anything else that was 21 years ago.
I did the blockers for one year the side effects to me was not worth it. I now use an alternative treatment and I feel alive and can do what I did before cancer. I did chemo but that was all didn't want radiation and not sorry I did not do it. read this book outsmart your cancer and it will give you a choice as what to do next.
I quit tamoxifen after five months because of the side effects. My doctor ran the prognosticating calculator called NewAdjuvantOnline which showed it was only giving me a 1% benefit. Not worth it to me. That was 6 years ago. I was her2+ and ER/PR+ stage 2a, grade 3 - had mastectomy and chemo
I have been on the blocker fir 3 years. I made my decision by thinking..if the cancer comes back, I want to knowi did everything I could and not think ...what is I had...
