Hormonal treatment can’t work if you don’t remember to take it. To reduce the chance of your breast cancer from coming back you should always take the full course of treatment as prescribed by your doctor. Here are some tips:

• Take it at the same time every day.
• Take it along with meals or other daily events, like brushing your teeth.
• Use special pillboxes that help you keep track, like the ones divided into days of the week, which you can find at any pharmacy.
• Ask people who are close to you to help by reminding you.
• Keep a “medicine calendar” near your medicine and make a note every time you take a dose.
