Antihormone therapy
Antihormone therapy is a medicine that helps treat some types of cancer, such as breast cancer. Inside your body, there are things called hormones that help your body work correctly. But sometimes, hormones can make cancer cells grow faster, which is not good.
Antihormone therapy medicines help slow down or stop hormones from making cancer cells grow. Think of them as a gatekeeper standing in front of the cancer cells, saying "no more growth for you!"
The medicine usually comes in a pill form and you take it every day. It can sometimes cause side effects like feeling tired, dizzy, or a little sick to your stomach. But these are just temporary and go away when you stop taking the medicine.
