Hello and welcome to HCM,
Breast tumor is treated with combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
Hormonal treatment is also used for treatment.
Treatment status us decided by status of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and Her 2 neu status.
Breast cancers which are ER negative, PR negative do not respond to hormonal treatment.
I suggest you to consult your oncologist for further management.
Thanks and take care
