Every woman is different. Some women find that they can reduce their treatment levels and maintain the same quality of life. Some women stay on relatively similar levels of hormone therapy for years. It is so important to work closely with your doctor on this. Think of your doctor as a business partner. Make sure she/he is listening to you and how you feel. And of course, you have to do your part, by educating yourself as much as you can.
