Cardiac health risks, risk of stroke, risk of blood clots and breast cancer risk are all looked at prior to approval to start on HRT at any time but especially if 10 yrs or greater into post menopausal period

@mahonlye Could you tell me the key tests that are used to determine risk for cardiac health, stroke, blood clots, and breast cancer? Many thanks!

@mahonlye

Would it be possible for you to provide the medical/scienfic authority for this list of risks looked at prior to HRT approval?

I am an ovarian cancer survivor and was told over 10 years ago, when I mentioned the possibility of estrogen replacement to the oncologist who is responsible for me still being alive , absolutely not.

He moved to another state so not someone I can easily consult at present and i have never found another gynecological oncologist of similar expertise.
