What Women with Breast Cancer Should Know About Estrogens

Jeffrey D. Blaustein, CBD and psychological and brain sciences, writes in The Conversation about what women with breast cancer should know about estrogens, a class of hormones. He says estrogen blockers are used to treat cancer, but women taking them have to consider what effect estrogens have on other aspects of their health, including mental health, cognitive function, libido and protection of the brain and possibly slowing the onset of Alzheimer’s disease.
