If you had radiation, when did you start hormone therapy?

What was the reason for starting before or during? My onc told me a month after radiation. It seems like a long time to wait.

I guess I don’t really know why they got me started before, except I do remember that I didn’t see the medical oncologist for 6 months. I guess he didn’t want me to wait 6 months to start.
I did not have unbearable side effects either. Yeah, hot flashes aren’t fun but they won’t kill me. I don’t love looking and sometimes feeling 20 years older than I am, but I am very grateful that I have lived almost another 20 years since diagnosis.
Have you finished radiation yet?
