Part II: Managing treatment side effects of anti-estrogen therapies

Thursday, November 2| 7:00 - 8:15 p.m. (ET)

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.
