breast cancer trial

Anyone been on trial to detect if hormone therapy is sufficient without chemo? 

  • Hello Jess,

    Just wanted to say I hope that you will manage to connect with someone here who will have been on this type of trial.

    You might also be interested in finding out more about our clinical trial research here or you can find a clinical trial here.

    Best wishes,

    Hi Jess,

    I am not on any trials, but thought that I would reply to your post because you were asking if anyone had hormone therapy alone as treatment for breast cancer.

    I was diagnosed with mucinous breast cancer 8 years ago. I had a lumpectomy and took Tamoxifen for a year. I was advised to have radiotherapy after surgery, but due to procedural delays, this never came to pass.

    I then found another lump in the same breast a year later. This was another primary cancer of the same type. This time I had a double mastectomy followed by Letrozole for 6 years. I stopped taking this last July.

    I am not a medic, but I suspect that whether or not this treatment is likely to work will depend upon the type of breast cancer you have. Fortunately, my cancer is rare, only 1% of people get it and it is one of the less aggressive forms of the disease. It was also grade 1 with no nodal involvement.

    Hope that this helps,

    Kind regards,
