So if someone has a hysterocmy, do they have to take hormones? And what do they do if a person can't tolerate hormone pills?

As far as I know, very few women who have been treated for endometrial cancer take hormones, either hormone replacement (aka HRT) or a hormone-related cancer drug, after a hysterectomy. Many pre-menopausal women who have a hysterectomy for reasons other than cancer do choose to take HRT to avoid the symptoms of going through menopause suddenly. But this is entirely their choice.

Have you had an endometrial biopsy or a D&C yet?
