That l
ink was interesting @mayblin. I had breast cancer driven by estrogen; 80% of breast cancers are hormonal and 1 in 8 women get breast cancer. Most are older. I was interested in this:

Elevated Breast Cancer Risk Can Be Mitigated
With a therapy combining estrogen and progestogen, both estrogen plus progestin and estrogen plus progesterone were associated with a 10%-19% increased risk of breast cancer, but the authors say that risk can be mitigated using low doses of transdermal or vaginal estrogen plus progestin.

"In general, risk reductions appear to be greater with low rather than medium or high doses, vaginal or transdermal rather than oral preparations, and with E2 (estradiol) rather than conjugated estrogen," the authors writemayblin I was interested in this:

"In the WHI, 70% of the women were over the age of 65 when they initiated therapy, which partially accounts for the negative outcomes. In addition, in WHI, everyone was taking oral [HT].

and this:

But I still cannot go near hormones with a previous cancer!! This should be reassuring for others.
