My gynecologist is mainly concerned because of the risk of breast cancer. I have family history with it. I don't know how high that risk is with HRT, but just the word cancer in itself makes me fearful 🙁
I don't know really... I'm confused. I will visit my gynecologist in a month and I will for sure mention HRT once again, so we can explore all the possibillities.

My feeling is for most women, with no history/family history of breast cancer, HRT is the way to go. Given that breast cancer runs in your family, I get your concerns. Maybe genetic testing could help.
