Medical Update

Pathology: Hormone Receptor
Hormone Receptor came back. The cancer is being fueled by progesterone and estrogen. I'm being told that's a good thing because in addition to chemo I can be treated with hormones. Now really, do I want my hormones messed with??

  3. Treating cancer with hormones will force my body into menopause so it won't produce estrogen and progesterone. I'm still learning all this stuff so I'll be posting info as I research and learn
