You are very courageous to post something like this- truly. I have been wanting to say something similar but don't want to seem unappreciative of science and available meds. Bur I too, think it's a bit of "madness". May I ask how long you stayed on them?

Hi catreen
I've been on bioidenticals for about 10 years, since menopause started. I'm 65 now. I understand where you're coming from when you say you don't want to be unappreciative! These medications/ therapies save lives and have their place, front and center, in winning the battle to live. I think it's mostly an educated balance that's so individual to the person with cancer. I hope you are doing well and thank you for asking!
Hi catreen. I can't figure out who your question is to. Sorry, just getting the hang of this.

Why is it madness to take meds that reduce estrogen below detectable levels, when estrogen fed our cancer? Why is it madness to try to cut our risk in half? There are certainly instances where overmedication may happen, or truly intolerable side effects, but for invasive cancer, I was willing to endure a lot of side effects to give myself a chance for living longer.
