Treatments that reduce the risk of breast cancer recurrence can also cause side effects. Some common side effects can include menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, bone loss, joint pain, and sexual side effects. There can also be concerns about heart health.

In part 2 of our two-part series, "Navigating risk of recurrence and quality of life," Evelyn Robles-Rodriguez DNP, APN, AOCN discusses side effects caused by anti-estrogen therapies such as tamoxifen, aromatase inhibitors, and ovarian suppression, plus ways to manage them. She is joined by a panel of people who’ve taken some of these treatments, and they share their personal experiences with managing side effects.

About our speaker:
Evelyn Robles-Rodriguez, DNP, APN, AOCN, is a member of LBBC’s medical advisory board and is director of outreach, prevention, and survivorship, MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper.
