Hi sjw70,
My name is Amy and I’m one of the Cancer Information Nurse Specialists on the Macmillan Support Line. Welcome to our online community and thanks for getting in touch.
We’re sorry to hear you are questioning why you are taking hormone treatment for breast cancer. You are not alone; many find it reassuring to know others feel the same way. I wonder if you have had a chance to reach out to our breast cancer forum, you can connect to others who understand what you have been through and are going through.
Breast Cancer Now have information about different types of hormone therapy and how to manage the side effects. We also have information about hormone therapy for breast cancer.
Cancer Care Map helps you find support in your area, or you may find the someone like me service useful, this is where you are matched to a trained volunteer who’s had a similar experience to you.
We often find we can help more by exploring these questions over the phone. If this is something you think would help, then please don’t hesitate to get in touch via our support line on 0808 808 0000. We are available 7 days a week, 8am-8pm.
