My Hormone Therapy Experience & Side Effects | Breast Cancer | My Cancer Story - Samantha Lynn

Even though I finished active cancer treatment in 2019, I am still on hormone therapy since my breast cancer is hormone receptor positive, meaning it feeds on estrogen and progesterone. These medications improve my survival chances, but they also cause a lot of side effects. 

Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, and am not an expert on these medicines. Please ask your doctor for advice concerning your health and which medications will be best for you.

Medications I take: Letrozole, Zoladex, Ribociclib, Zometa 
Diagnosis: Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer ER+, PR+, HER2-
