This is very encouraging. Thank you for sharing this.
I have heard that, not only is bone loss lessened, but estrogen is cardio-protective as well. I went through menopause about a decade ago and am dealing with cardiovascular issues, bone loss issues, and other issues I would like to improve. But I, too, am getting the "But you're going to get cancer!" responses from doctors.

i was told by an osteoporosis specialist at The Hospital for Special Surgery that 5 yrs after the onset of menopause is too late to start HRT.
Concerning what a gyn Oncologist told me re taking HRT when miserable at the onset of menopause—take the HRT—the quality of your days need to improve. That being said, at the time i was not at high risk of cancer

They have really debunked those fears with a lot of the new literature. Most information now says it is a shame women have been denied this treatment because of myths.
