Your breast cancer type and hormone status were important in guiding your treatment. But when it comes to birth control, there isn’t enough strong research yet to know whether hormonal methods are completely safe for people who had HR negative breast cancer. Because the evidence is limited, it’s hard to say for certain that hormonal birth control carries no risk. A careful approach is recommended. What does this mean for you? The safety of hormonal birth control after HR-negative breast cancer remains uncertain. Shared decisions about birth control should be made through open conversation with your care team. Non-hormonal methods may be recommended when appropriate. Our goal is to support you in making a safe, informed choice that aligns with your priorities.
