Extra Info Open to people living with breast, ovarian or gynecological cancer, who have taken or are taking hormonal therapy for estrogen receptor positive cancer. Pre-registration is required. Call Support Connection: 914-962-6402 or 800-532-4290.
Are you taking an estrogen blocker, such as: Tamoxifen, Evista (Raloxifene) or Fareston (Toremifene)? Or, has your doctor prescribed an aromatase inhibitor, such as: Arimidex (Anastrozole), Aromasin (Exemestane) or Femara (Letrozole)? Have you taken any of these therapies in the past? Despite proven medical benefits, are you experiencing side-effects that undermine your confidence and quality of life? You are not alone.
This program will provide an opportunity to share your opinions, thoughts and experiences with others who know how it feels. This is not an educational forum on hormonal therapies; there will be no medical professional speaking about the science, benefits or protocols. It is an open discussion on a topic many have shown interest in. It is a chance to share coping tips, information and support with other women as you navigate the challenges related to taking these drugs.
