An aunt and a cousin died of breast cancer, I have breast cancer too, my daughter has to do HRT, can she do it or is it too risky with our history?

Hi @GoldMamas, thank you for sharing with us. Let me tag some other members who can possibly share with you.

Like @GoldMamas said, HRT (hormone replacement therapy) is a common treatment method used to ease perimenopause and menopause symptoms.

Do you know if women with a history of breast cancer take HRT? Have you done it yourself? If so, what was your experience like?

Take care,

Courtney

@Courtney_J I am getting very nervous and scared because the surgery is July 13, 2021. My parents both died this year so I dont have them to talk to. My mom died on Feb 16, 2021 with a sickness she was suffering for 18 months so i was dealing with that for the last months and then my dad had a major stroke 3 weeks after my mom passed away and he could no longer go back to his assistance living so we had to find a nursing home. We found one he was only in there 3 weeks and then he passed away on May 6, 2021. Right after all that I was diagnosed with cancer so I have been on a train that is non-stop. I feel like I am so tried out and I dont have much energy left. My sisters are not helpful they keep telling me just pray. They both got to take 2 weeks vacation after my mom and dad passed away. I have not even had time to take a breather I am just on the train of bad luck. That is how I am feeling.
