A member asked:
What are the hormones someone should take if they have breast cancer?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
None: None that is unless prescribed by your doctor. When the cancer is removed a portion of it is tested for hormone receptors. Those results will help your doctor to decide which to give, if any.

Hormones/Breast CA: If i understand the question correctly you are asking about safe hormones for postmenopausal women with breast cancer? None, if the cancer is er/pr positive. We prescribe estrogen blocking drugs to decrease the risk of recurrence. We discourage hormone use in all breast cancer patients.
