Is HCG Safe To Take For Breast Cancer Patients?
I wanted to know if it is safe to take HCG if you have had breast cancer. The kind of cancer is Triple Negative. When I received my chemo I was taking 20mg of steroids weekly. I gained a lot of weight. I want to loose about 20 pounds. Is it safe to use HCG?

Hello,
Why are you taking steroids? That is the cause of your weight gain and it has no role in breast cancer management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
