Hormonal therapy for breast cancer, also called anti-estrogen or hormone therapy, is used to treat all stages of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer.
Hormone levels can be changed or blocked by drugs, surgery or radiation therapy. Hormone therapy is also called endocrine therapy. Breast cancer tissue is always tested to find out if it has hormone receptors (called hormone receptor positive breast cancer) or does not have hormone receptors (called hormone receptor negative breast cancer).
Hormone therapy. This class of drugs works on breast cancers with hormone receptors. Female hormones estrogen and progesterone stimulate growth of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy works to lower hormone levels or block the hormone receptor on the cancer cell. Aromatase inhibitors are a type of hormone therapy

If she’d had mastectomies for breast cancer, then she’d also have been on powerful hormone blockers and/or chemotherapy. The first makes PIV intercourse painful unless lots of lubricant is used and the second pretty much guarantees no children.
But men don't have cervices so why should we care about that?
The only cancer women care about is breast cancer.
More than four times as many women get lung cancer as breast cancer.
More women smoke than men.
The breast cancer people get way more donations than the lung cancer people do.
So no surprise that women are against preventing another cancer that only they can get.
Please let’s have more like this it’s terrific writing.
