Hi @andreamayo
It has been many months since you posted and I am wondering how you are doing with HRT.

I am 55, have Osteoporosis, and was treated with Reclast over the last 3 years with the outcome of no change in bone density scores.

I am hesitant to try HRT because my mother had HRT in the 1990s post-menopause for Osteoporosis, did very well on it, but then was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2018 and died from metastatic Breast Cancer in 2023. I too experienced Cancer - I had Hodgkins Lymphoma in 2001.

Based on these cancers, and my being 5 years past menopause, a gyn I visited recently quickly dismissed my idea of considering HRT and would not discuss it further. I found her perspective to lack in recognition of the latest studies on HRT, the nuances of how the different types of HRTs affect different population segments, and the dooming realities of Osteoporsis on quality of life and mortality rates. I just don't know if ignoring all HRT is the best decision.

I live in NYC and am seeking a doctor who can actually give me a nuanced analysis and help me decide. I would welcome any feedback / insight from anyone here.

Thank you all in advance!
Alyssa
