Megace is a very old hormonal therapy drug that's rarely prescribed nowadays. Newer hormonal therapies include Aromatase Inhibitors (Letrozole, Arimidex and Aromasin), Tamoxifen (which has been around for a while), and Faslodex. I'd suggest seeking a second professional opinion if you possibly can.
