If the risk to which you’re referring is that you have a family history, or even that you are a breast cancer survivor, you may still actually be a candidate for HRT.
I have a friend who actually had breast cancer, and she is on HRT. Took her a hot minute to find a doctor who did not knee-jerk refuse to give it to her, though.

Well, I'm your age and on HRT and if it makes you feel any better it has not helped me with any of those things. It has fixed the hot flashes and helped with the sleep. I'm still sagging and anxious and can't see for $h!t. And my hair is bizarre -- after a lifetime of straight and shiny and thick, it is now wavy and wiry and dry and frizzy and falling out. HRT hasn't helped that at all.
