Side Effects of Hormonal Therapy as a Breast Cancer Treatment
A breast cancer treatment involving hormonal therapy can cause many side effects, which a woman's doctor should explain. These side effects depend on what kind of drug the patient is given. Cancer treatment drugs may cause hot flashes, weight changes, vaginal discharge or irritation, and irregular periods. Any unusual bleeding should be reported to the doctor.
