What is hormonal therapy, and why is my doctor recommending it?
Many breast cancers are estrogen dependent. It is felt that by using drugs to stop the body’s natural production of estrogen, the chances of recurrence can be greatly decreased. Ask your doctor questions about the type of cancer you have and if it is responsive to estrogen. An informed decision is always easier to make.
