I do appreciate you have had a terrible experience dealing with breast cancer, but please don't start opining on whether it is advisable to start HRT any time outside the 10 year window, especially given your lack of medical expertise. You had the benefit of HRT for decades. But the majority of women over 50 were denied HRT at menopause and have spent decades suffering as a result. If, like me, they have finally found a doctor who is prepared to prescribe HRT and found it instantly life changing in terms of significantly improving a whole range of debilitating conditions - from chronic insomnia to vaginal atrophy/over active bladder and osteoporosis , it is ultimately a decision about quality of life versus the appalling lack of research about unknown risks for women over 60.
