    That’s what blockers are for. That seems to be the medical standard of care so non-doctor laypeople should not be opining on this

      blockers give a increased risk for cancer this is why you read the little booklet they give you when getting the drug if you dont get it ask the pharmacist for it it tells the risks and the side affects

        A medication might have a miniscule increase in chance for cancer? Say it ain’t so! We shouldn’t let kids eat processed meats then. Or have direct tap water. Or eat donuts. Or fly anywhere. Or go out in the sun. Or have diabetes. Or have a cell phone anywhere near their heads. Or drink soda. Or drink anything out of a plastic bottle. Or be around a scented candle. Or fall asleep with the TV on. The fact is that just existing increases your chances of cancer. To use that as a reason to not do something that’ll make you happier is insane and it will lead to you hiding under your bed for the rest of your life. Except that being at all sedentary will also increase risks of cancer so you can’t just hide either.

          Or any meats. Watch the cons’ heads explode about “social engineering” if more and more authorities start trying to warn children away from the dangers of any meat. The cons are already cranking up their culture war against other healthy efforts like milk substitutes and have always had an uneasy detente with veg*n diets - but are increasingly getting more and more agitated about any change to their “way of life”, even if it’s wayyyy better for them.

            To be fair, it’s kind of hard to come up with a defense when your premise is “Cancer treatments cause cancer” 😄

              Try explaining to them even if that was the case, the risk of suicide and extreme self-harming is way more prescient than any long-shot cancer risk, but preferably blow thru their bullshit by pointing out all the things they defend to the death that are more harmful and more predictably so
