Should I start HRT again at 60?

I’ve been on HRT since early 2024. My last Dexa scan was December 2024 and it noted osteopenia for the first time but I will see if there is any improvement in December after more than two full years on HRT. Some of the benefits I’ve realized over the past two years are:
Didn’t realize how achy I was until it stopped!
Brain fog lifted! I couldn’t find the word I was looking for! I thought I was getting dementia!
A level of anxiety lifted that I didn’t realize I was carrying.
Some other things that have improved are:
Itchiness
Anger
Vaginal Atrophy

How wonderful!! Here is my story. At 40 years old I had a full hysterectomy. I had HRT for about 3 years. My fabulous female endocrinologist passed away from leukemia. I didn't understand the importance of continuing my HRT treatment. At that time, there was a lot in the news regarding HRT and a possible link to breast cancer. Fast forward twenty years, I am now 66 years old with osteoporosis and every other symptom you mentioned. (I am also a kidney transplant patient)
Whenever I bring up the idea of HRT at age 66 years old, the doctors laugh and say "too late" and they want to treat the osteoporosis.
Do you think I would be a candidate for HRT patch or has too many years passed since my hysterectomy? Are you going to a gynecologist or endocrinologist for your treatment?
Thanks so much for letting me know your FABULOUS experience with HRT. It truly sounds like the fountain of youth!
