Although many women are
opting for natural remedies to fight the effects of menopause over hormone replacement therapy (HRT), how about hormone therapy specifically used to fight breast cancer?
The hormonal drugs, which are referred to as "luteinising-hormone-releasing hormones (LHRH)," have appeared to some medical professionals to be effective by themselves or combined with other treatments in challenging breast cancer development.
Dr. Michael Thun stated that "this is an important finding for the subgroup of women who develop estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer before menopause," although he was not involved in the study. Anything that shows promise in fighting breast cancer without high levels of side effects is cause for further investigation. How will you be proceeding?
