Please get the book ESTROGEN MATTERS by Dr. Avrum Bluming (oncologist)! These comments from women are so sad, whose doctors & care team are denying them the gold standard of care by NOT following the SCIENCE! There are several studies. THEY are absolutely uninformed, going off of old, outdated & DEBUNKED info from a very flawed study by the WHI back in 2002. Please inform yourselves & do your research, start by getting that book! If you are doing well on HRT/MHT & have no other contraindications, YOU can decide (it's called Informed Consent & Shared Decision Making, also Benefit-to-Risk) to continue to take MHT as long as it is of benefit & for protection. Find another doctor. They took oaths to do no harm & this could even be considered medical malpractice - negligence. Follow Dr. Kelly Casperson, Dr. Marie Claire Haver, Dr. Corinne Menn, Dr. Heather Hirsch & Dr. Louise Newson to name a few excellent resources. Share share share with all your friends, daughters, etc. Good luck. Love.
I am trying to find a physician who will consider HRT. I asked my Endocrinologist at Duke who says I’m too late to start HRT. I’m not quite 10 years out from menopause. I have an appointment next month with a gynecologist, but no idea what she’ll say.
