@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.

Hello @gretch19,
I had my first endocrinologist visit this week. He told me that if I or anyone in my family had ever had breast cancer or ovarian cancer, I would not be a candidate for HRT of any kind. Sorry for this news, but it's just one doctor. If you can find another doctor to prescribe HRT for you, maybe they will tell you something different. Good luck!
