I am a 65 year old Filipino  and had total hysterectomy when I was 28 years old due to Ovarian Cancer. Ive been taking estrogens right after treatments of chemotherapy due to hot flashes and night sweats.  Until now Im still on HRT.  Right now Im taking Estradiol.  I now have lumps on  my breast and had a biopsy 11 years ago and the result is negative.  All of a sudden, 2 weeks ago I received a letter from my primary physician (after picking up my Estradiol) telling me that HRT should only be used for short term treatment of menopausal symptoms.  Ive beeb using it since I was 39 years old and all of a sudden Ive to stop.  Thats drastic and scary.  What should I do?  Will the natural supplements help in this situation?
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. Dear madam. HRT can be taken till the rest of your life, and you can continue this if you experience postmenopausal symptoms. Natural supplements may help, but it can't replace HRT so consult your gun about it. Wish you good health. Regards
