Summary

This study looks at whether a simple writing exercise—reflecting on personal values—can help breast cancer patients handle side effects from aromatase inhibitors and stick to their medication. About 250 women will write monthly essays for six months, either about their values or about daily events. Researchers will track symptoms, stress, and pill-taking using an electronic bottle. The goal is to find a low-cost way to improve quality of life and treatment adherence.
