How Can Breast Cancer Be Treated?

I ve been diagnosed with stage three, hormone receptive breast cancer--In March of 2016. I ve since gone through a bi-lateral mastectomy--including the removal of sixteen lymph nodes, chemotherapy and radiation. I ve been taking the drug Exemestane for three months and am plagued with several side effects. What is the percentage of protection this drug therapy provides to stave off cancer recurrence?
