Hormone Therapy (tablets)

How this treatment impacted my life the most

Emotional problems. Crying for no apparent reason. Worry that life was limited.

If I had to do it all over again, would I choose the same treatment?

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

The long term outcomes have been good. I was involved in the Stampede drugs trial which although it was difficult at times I believe I have benefited.

Hormone Therapy (injections)

How this treatment impacted my life the most

Hormone injections every 3 months for a period of 3 years. Well looked after at my GP surgery.

If I had to do it all over again, would I choose the same treatment?

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

The hormone helped to reduce the cancer and give me a feeling of safety.
