I miss my HRT!!!!!
I’m right there with you. I had small er/hr+ cancer/ lumpectomy & 5 radiation treatments 5 months ago and was on low dose HRT for 20 years. I miss my hormones! I am also not taking the hormone blockers either as I was told I was a low risk. The night sweats, sleep problems, mood swings & difference in my skin is driving me and everyone around me crazy. I want my hormones back! I’m thinking of going to a Chinese doctor for help.
I realize the hormones fueled my cancer, but if it took 20 years to be the size of a pea…if I take them again I’ll be in my 90’s by the time I get another slow growing hormone one. It goes against everything you read & the docs are saying so it’s just personal risk I can’t decide on.
Everyone’s journey is so different & I am thankful every day mine was found while it was so small. What to do? I miss my hormones!

Hi
I too was diagnosed with e r /pr positive her 2 neg. Lumpectomy. I had been on h r t for fifteen years taken off last october since may been suffering horribly with depression anxiety hot flashes, crying Finally found a Doctor that put me on ciprolex. It's being a bumpy road But I am in week too and starting to get relief. I believe there's a huge lack in post.Op care for breast cancer as far as what women go through with their hormones. You have to fight to get help.
