If You Are Having Hormonal Therapy

Questions for the doctor:

• Why do I need this treatment?

• What is the goal of the treatment?

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

• How will we know if the treatment is working?

• What are the likely short-term and long-term side effects?

• What can I do about side effects?

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