I too would strongly recommend not taking the hrt (hormone replacement therapy ). I was on it for far too long and was diagnosed with hormone receptor positive breast cancer two years ago. Myself and others believe the breast cancer is likely because of long time use of ERT. Unfortunately, my GP never mentioned the risk. Now that I'm taking anastrozole, I'm dealing with other "unpleasant side effects" one being awful hot flashes every two hours.

I'm sorry about your C. I'm wondering at what age you started your HRT? was it just estrogen or combo with progesterone? how long did u take it before you got cancer diagnosis? does cancer run in your family? thanks and i hope you are feeling better or have kicked the C out into remission by now.
