I am a 63 white female using the Climara patch 0.075. I have used this for approximately 20  yrs after acomplete hysterectomy. Recenntly I was treated surgically for Clear Cell Renal Cell Cancer Grade one and noother signs of cancer. Now all the doctors want me to discontinue the patch, but I feel so much better on it.No foggy brain, no low libido, etc. What do you think? Continue or discontinue? Thank you for your time.
Hi, thanks for using Chat Doctor Chimera patch contains a form of estrogen. Your doctors may want to discontinue it because prolonged use is associated with increased risk of heart disease, stroke, breast cancer or a clot. It would be best, if suggested by your doctors, that you discontinue the medication to reduce the chance of complications. I hope this helps
