Treatment

May 27, 2008 in Drugs / Treatment, Information

Most women who have breast cancer usually either undergo chemo or just have their breasts removed. Chemo is a standard operating procedure but breast removal is not, see the thing about having the breast cut out is that it is not only horrifying, it is also not 100% effective. The cancer cell, if it has already worsened could have spread out to the entire body by then. In this case, dismembering may already be useless. There’s a new treatment offered, and it’s called hormone therapy. Through constant infusion of estrogen, the cancer cells are kept under check. Although this is not a cure for cancer, it is relatively preferable to other treatments.
