Thanks Jaypo, I had a benign lesion in the breast a long time ago, but was never given advice about hrt etc as it was well before all that. I was told it was benign and no other risk factors, but I don't look the thing up online because I see there is some debate about it. I don't know what else they test for to tell me there was no other risk factors either.
The GP I saw just nodded and said I'd be fine with hrt, but considering what I had in the breast is rare, I'm not sure she even knew what it was, even the breast surgeon didn't know with 30 years of working in the field. He said he'd learned something.
So it's always a concern, but you've reassured me a bit about vagifem, I think I'll take it again tomorrow, hopefully I won't get all sound sensitive and migrainey, which was happening, but in theory, if I do it gradually I might be ok.
