For years, many women have been told that hormones after breast cancer are simply off the table.
But what if the evidence is more nuanced than that?
In this episode, Dr. Kelly Casperson sits down with medical oncologist, researcher, and sex therapist Dr. Linda Bosserman to discuss estrogen, testosterone, breast cancer, libido, quality of life, and why individualized care matters. Together they unpack where the evidence is strong, where uncertainty remains, and why "there's no data" is not the same as "I don't know the data."
