[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve read exhaustively in the literature because I had a dear friend who was convinced her breast cancer was from the HRT she went on the year before diagnosis and who demanded I promise, while nursing her on hospice status, never to take it.

I experienced devastating symptoms from surgically induced early menopause and over a decade lost my career, my home, most of my possessions and nearly all my good health - I struggled with suicidality for nearly a decade from chronic debilitating insomnia that made me clinically depressed. I finally went on HRT and got my life back, or what’s left of it. I can work full time again and have some modest future hopes and don’t think all the time about killing myself.

I’m happy to risk the .whatever increase for breast cancer to avoid the certainty that I would have eventually succumbed to suicidal ideation. Don’t shame anyone who chooses HRT - you have no idea what battles they’ve endured.

HRT for surgical menopause is different from HRT for normal hot flashes. And you should not have let it get to that point. [/quote]

First, as to your attitude - you should F right off, you are a nasty person.

Second, it is exceedingly difficult to find physicians who aren't blinkered by the recent stupidity around HRT from a flawed study in the early 2000s that was massively misreported by media. Many, many doctors are so litigation averse that they will chuck women's health under the bus in favor of fewer complications in their practice.

Thirdly, again, F right off.[/quote]
