When you have hormone positive breast cancer, how to manage menopause?

I have had hot flashes for 22 years now. I am 72. I also take BHRT (0.025 Estradiol patch & 200 mg of Progesterone). It does work and I have not had any side effects. But it scares me to be on BHRT THIS long. Tried to wean off but they were right back. Very bad hot flashes around 4AM and wake up & cannot get back to sleep.

Either because I did NOT have kids I am a diethylstilbestrol (DES) daughter I think! NOT enjoying my "golden" years!

Hi
Yes I am 65 I did not have children either I was on HRT for 10 years it was great but because I just got through breast cancer I'm not allowed to take it anymore so I guess this is the way it is now which is frustrating and I do wake up at 4:00 a.m. also every night with a wicked hot flash very strange thanks for sharing
