HRT after total hysterectomy due to uterine cancer

Thank you for your response. I was taking a hormone replacement patch prior to my hysterectomy. I’ve already dealt with menopause. Once this is my second time around due to the surgery. I already drink water and eat healthy. It’s to the point where I’m not sleeping at all, which is why I’ve turned back to HRT.

I'm in the same boat. went through menopause at 40. was put on HRT, low dose, natural. fantastic. had endometrial cancer--caught very early--radical hysterectomy. now 1.5 years out I going through menopause 2.0. It's terrible. also, can't sleep, have severe joint and muscle pain, all the bells and whistles of menopause. want to know if I can go back on HRT. Also wonder about testing to assess risk of future cancers.

I've been miserable without estrogen for four and and half years since my hyst for UC. I think HRT is what led to it in the first place...Was on estrogen for way too long , with only topical OTC progesterone. So I'm scared to try even OTC estrogen.
