[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because your doctor is not up on current practices!! HRT is critical for women who go into early menopause/ovarian failure. The outcomes for heart attacks and bone density are really bad if younger women don’t go on it. I’ve been on HRT for 13 years and if I saw a doctor who told me to stop taking it, I would look for another doctor immediately. The cancer risk for HRT is overblown.

Leave it to the crappy medical establishment for women to needlessly suffer.[/quote]

You are in a different situation, if you went into early menopause; it’s a medical necessity, and the gain/need outweighs any risk.

My mom could never go on HRT because she has a clotting disorder. I never went on it because I was diagnosed with BC at 51. The thing about family history is tricky, because most people with BC have no family history (I had zero). And there seems to be a possible increased risk for lobular BC with HRT, which is the kind I was diagnosed with (although to be fair, it’s rare). I had no idea I was at risk for ILC but my DD will never be able to take HRT.[/quote]
