@seapen just my two cents but I was on HRT and experienced breast tenderness and within a year I had a callback from my mammogram. The estrogen had stimulated abnormal excessive growth in my mammary ducts. I had a biopsy and subsequent lumpectomy to get rid of tve area of abnormal growth. Known as Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia (ADH) and can become a precursor to breast cancer. The breast tenderness is an effect of the estrogen and may indicate the dosage is too strong. Check with your doctor.

@humphreysbr I am very interested in trying HRT, if I can approved, so I can avoid a lifetime of osteop meds. I have already been on Evenity for a year and Prolia for a year. My Dr. is recommendeing Reclast next which scares me. Now that the blackbox warnings for HRT have been lifted, I'd like to see if I can get a patch. I am a 33 year breast cancer survivor, had a unilateral masectomy as well as a hysterectomy 10 yrs ago. My OBGYN will not prescribe HRT for me. however the new evidence shows that low dose patches are not contraindicated. What you are reporting may mean there is still a risk.
