Could not agree more. I felt so much better taking HRT into my 70's. I'm 81 and still taking a low dose estrodial + progesterone. There's no history of breast cancer in my family so my variety of doctors over the years have been willing to continue to prescribe it.
I recently started on HRT after my osteoporosis diagnosis. I'm 57 and used Depoprovera for birth control before menopause. I immediately saw increase in energy level. I'm retired and very active. Thankful for the medical team that supported my request to consider HRT. I did have to change OBGYN to find a doctor who understood the benefit for my symptoms. Thanks for sharing this information on HRT.
Lucy, do you or Shannon have any updates on the use of HRT for those who have had endometrial cancer? I have long been advised not to take it for that reason but doctors have also told me that I should be taking it for bone health, so I'm very confused. The research seems to be quite old on endometrial cancer even though people like me have had it very young (22).
Great question. Estrogen alone, if prescribed without progesterone, can cause endometrial cancer. Which is one of the reasons we prescribe estrogen and progesterone together for women who have a uterus. If you have had a hysterectomy for uterine cancer, you cannot get uterine cancer (unless you somehow have ectopic uterine tissue- that is: issues like endometriosis). So for my patients who have had a hysterectomy, for whatever reason and including for uterine cancer, estrogen alone is typically safe. Does that make sense?
Yes, Graves all but destroyed our marriage, but then I came across an article that changed me. My wife's not the best at looking after herself and I'm not trying to change her, but she needs some changes. She's not wanting anything to do with counciling and the like. I appreciate you time in just answering, Thank you very much.
I'm in need of help, my wife and I have been together for 21 years now ( new years was our "married" anniversary of 13 years) we have 5 sons so there's a lot going on. My wife has a horrible family history of cancers, she's had a total hysterectomy and a few years back due to a very very late diagnosis of graves disease to where she was hospitalized almost too late, had her thyroid removed as well. She's not the best at looking after herself and has always been a bit of a hot head. As were getting older, things seem to just keep getting harder. I would absolutely love some or any information on how I, we and she can turn this downward spiral from stopping. Thank you for any consideration and your time.
HI Jamie - I can’t provide specific marital advice but I suggest getting a referral from your primary care provider for a counselor if that is what you mean ?

Glad to hear it has been helpful!

Actually, yes! I think this is the first time I've gotten a straight answer about this topic. I'll open the discussion with my physician. Thank you!

Thank you, I was more or less looking for ways to gain perspective and understanding in a nut shell.
Ok, do you mean perspective and understanding on a partner who is struggling with their health?
