Hi.
Has anyone been offered Irosustat as well as hormone tablets (letrozole etc) to treat their secondaries? I was diagnosed recently with secondaries in bones and a new tumour in breast.
My Oncologist, who I have my first appointment with next month to discuss treatment, has been involved in a trial using the above drug.
When I googled it apparently most breast cancers need estrogen to grow and there are two ways in which the body can make it. Previously they were only able to use a hormone drug to block one of these places but with the introduction of irosustat they are hoping to prove that they can also block the other one and stop the cancer from growing.
I will obviously ask him the question when I see him, but just wondered if anyone else had heard of it or is taking it?
