Side effects of hormone-blocking treatment

Other questions

Partly. Dr. Bosserman’s treatment guide covers side effects, but it is written for women who were premenopausal when diagnosed.

Pre-Menopausal Breast Cancer Hormone Therapy Options: The Complete Patient Guide

49 pages for women who were premenopausal when diagnosed. It compares tamoxifen alone, tamoxifen plus ovarian suppression, and an aromatase inhibitor plus ovarian suppression, with results given as numbers per 100 women, and it has a section on managing side effects.

$25, yours to keep.

Also included in Paid, $8 a month.

Past menopause when you were diagnosed, or on an aromatase inhibitor alone? We do not have a guide yet for joint pain or hot flashes in that situation. If dryness or pain is part of it, the free vaginal estrogen guide is the place to start.
