Title: Who takes HRT and has a history of hormone +ve breast cancer?
Post by: sprocket on September 11, 2020, 09:26:54 PM

Hi,
Does anyone here take patches/gel/spray HRT having had hormone positive breast cancer previously? Vaginal oestrogen not included.
Looking to hear of any experiences.
Thanks.

Yes me. Diagnosed 2009. Referred to Chelsea and Westminster hospital last year. Prescribed gel and utrogestan. Can also have the patch if I want to try that. Any questions, feel feee to pm me 😀

It's about Quality of Life and by now, ladies would be able to access advice - until those with +ve diagnosis are allowed to take HRT research won't move forwards. 

Good Luck - let us know how you get on!
