Giving up on hormone therapy

Please speak to your team for help with side effects. Many can be managed with medication. I know taking more medication is annoying. I take 6 tablets for my side effects so I can make the 5 years. Not all plain sailing. I’m hoping to start something new for my hot flushes soon.

Many doctors say the symptoms will settle after a few months, so try to stick with it, if you can. For me they didn’t :pensive_face:

You are entitled to a menopause clinic referral with a cancer diagnosis if your symptoms are menopause related. Unfortunately the NHS wait time is quite long. I paid privately at first and then spoke to them on the NHS for my follow up some months later.

I started this thread which I update as required.

Also try to call the BCN nurses on 0808 800 6000 who may be able to offer help with your side effects.

This is a popular thread as well. Many finding different brands work better for them

Take care and keep sharing.
