I need to know percentages and full facts of actually how beneficial hormone therapies are. Once I've had radiotherapy not sure I want all the side effects for low margin return . How much information do you get?
You'll get as much information as you want - provided that you ask for it. Some people don't want to know all the research data, whilst, others want to know every little detail - that's me too!
I am 14 years down the line now, following 2 bouts of breast cancer within a year, but I've always drawn up a list of questions, for every consultation that I've attended. It is all too easy to forget something important, if you don't do this. Write down your questions, as you think of them. It is also useful to sit down, with a loved one and ask for their input, as they will often have queries that you haven't thought about.
I hope that all goes well with your radiotherapy and please keep in touch and let us know what you decide about hormone blockers.
