Hi Brooklyn @brooklyn22
Hormone receptors drugs can be difficult to take, but not everyone has really bad side effects. I honestly don’t think the doctors aren’t trying, it’s just the best we have right now. New research is looking for alternatives. If you’re mad at anyone it probably should be that research dollars are being cut - so those new better drugs are going to take longer to develop.
I was diagnosed with DCIS in 2022. Unfortunately now they have found pancreatic cysts. If you think hormone receptor drugs are horrible, you should read the feed for pancreatic cancer. Chemotherapy is what is keeping those folks alive - and those side effects are truly horrible. It’s amazing though, the people on that feed are the most uplifting that I’ve read. No complaining. They support each other, and suggest the next chemotherapy trial someone might try. It’s a beautiful thing!
