Being a Proactive Patient

If You Are Having Hormonal Therapy

Questions for the doctor:

  • Why do I need this treatment?

  • What drugs will I be taking? How often? For how long? What will they do?

  • What can I do about side effects?

  • If I need hormonal treatment, which would be better for me, drugs or an operation?

  • How long will I be on this treatment?
