Description
Yaoyao Long and six co-authors wrote this 2023 review on how women experience hormone therapy after breast cancer. The daily pills cut the chance of the cancer returning, but side effects erode daily life and many women quietly stop. The team read fifteen studies on what helps or hinders women in staying the course.
Support from health professionals stood out as a strong lever. Yet many clinicians never explained the therapy's purpose or how to handle its side effects, leaving survivors to cope alone. Despite discomfort, most women kept a positive view of the treatment. They leaned on self-management tricks and on family and peer networks to push through. The authors urge research and training that pull clinicians into active partnership, since their involvement can decide whether a proven therapy gets its full chance.
