Will estrogen supplements increase my risk of cancer?

Yes, "your body, your choice".
But I apparently made the wrong choice by taking estrogen, starting in my sixties, until my uterine cancer diagnosis.
I hoped the topical progesterone would protect me, but the hysterectomy pathology showed a 22m uterine lining.
I loved being on estrogen, and my body (and mind ) miss it. But were those years of feeling "youthful" worth it??

I am so sorry you had to deal with cancer and I hope you have recovered. That's why I said everyone is different. I would never insist anyone think like I do. When I saw this discussion, I wanted to tell my personal story. We all need to advocate for ourselves . Quality of life is important, and I agree with the fact that our bodies and minds miss that essential hormone. Seems like everything in our life holds some risks. We all have to decide what risks we are willing to take.
I wish you good health and happiness.
