When I read this I really am thankful that my tumor did not return. I say this because, with chemo I went into instant menopause and was having tremendous hot flashes, sweats etc so the doctor put me on hormone replacement therapy, while on treatment.
About a year later my sister told me she had breast cancer, bothe my grandmothers died of breast cancer. I knew this and the fact I had never been pregnant, never had missed a menstual cycle, never had breast fed a baby all added up to me being at high risk for breast cancer I quit taking the HRT. After lung cancer I certainly didn't want to increase my risk of getting another cancer.
Little did I know at that time it could also increase my risk of the lung cancer. Donna G
