I can’t get enough of this info, having had breast cancer. My gyn just prescribed HRT for me. The tide is turning!! Addendum: just has my oncology checkup this afternoon and brought up that I’m considering HRT. Her reply was that it’s fine as long as I make an informed decision and the decision I make will be the right one for me ❤❤❤.

I am so glad to hear that you went back on HRT. After listening to Dr. Bluming and others, I want to quit my hormone blocker and get back on HRT. I was stage 0 insitu and no lymph nodes involved.

What’s worse, even if you don’t have breast cancer but your mother or sister did, even if tests show it’s not genetic, most doctors will deny you HRT.It’s just a mental hurdle and too many doctors just won’t even have the discussion. Thank you for posting this interview. It was helpful. 😊

BEWARE: I tried the Alloy service and was denied treatment because I had DCIS (very low grade "cancer"). This is exactly OPPOSITE of what this video says. Feeling very angry.

@@savatryramsaran1877 I had a lumpectomy. The type of cell growth in low grade DCIS would not be called "cancer" if it was in another part of the body! But I can't give you advice as we are all different. I did alot of googling/research and came to this conclusion.

I asked this question on another video of yours, but can you PLEASE get Dr Bluming to go into more detail about HOW and Why equiline is better at preventing Alzheimers? How do we know this? How do they test that? And are the other horse eatrogens in Premarin beneficial or negative? We need more detailed info on Premarin vs estradiol vs other forms of HRT. Thank you in advance, that would be SO helpful!

My grandmother never took hormone therapy, never had any cancer, went through menopause naturally. My mother the same. Both lived into 80s & didn’t die from broken bones. I’m in my 80s now and never took birth control, no hormone therapy, went through menopause normally & had 5 children. Mom had two, grandma had three children.

That's great for you. But your experience is sadly not what most of us experience. It would be like denying those of us who need glasses because some people don't need them at all. Hrt is lifesaving for those who need it. Without it, I would have closed my business because I could not remember anything. I am 54. I am pretty sure had I not done hrt I would have been diagnosed with alzheimers early.

How does giving Tamoxifen - which is blocking estrogen receptors - together with bioidentical estrogen - which needs to dock on said receptors, make any sense? If the receptors are blocked, how can additional estrogen even connect to the receptors?

Hormone replacement therapy after er pr positive breast cancer? Then why do they give aromatese inhibitors to stop production of estrogen ??? I mean they say even the little estrogen produced by body can trigger recurrence, and here u are talking about giving hormone replacement therapy??? Does that mean only women on tamoxifen are candidates for hrt and women on AI are not the candidates for HRT?

Can you define “after”? I received info of invasive metastatic HR + Her2- no genetic components BC after a clear mammogram and biopsy 9 months prior🤷🏼‍♀️Last PET showed no activity. Am I an “after”? thanks❤

Could you please address the issue of taking bioidentical progesterone after HR+ breast cancer? There seem to be many conflicting data as regards the role of bioidentical progesterone on the BREAST (not the uterus lining, where the role is clearly protective). Some study outcomes say it's protecting the breast, others show the opposite. What is currently the data saying in that respect??

Why all the doctors talks about estrogen benefits, but not mentioning combined progesterone and what would be the long term effect?

This is a great question, we'll take note of this for future webinars! If you are taking estrogen and you have a uterus, you must take progesterone as well, as it protects the lining of the uterus. If you've had a hysterectomy, then you don't need to take it. However, there can be some benefits for women without a uterus to take it as well if their symptoms are not being fully met. It can help with sleep issues and anxiety.

Hi Dr Dec 10 2001 I had colon rectal cancer had surgery they also took my Ovaries out I was 48 years old I was told what was going to happen to me I had hot flashes and night sweating and 7 days a week 24 hours aday I put up with this for more than 20 years and then I found a Dr that gave me HRT and I feel like I am living life now So I have been on HRT two years and would gave up my HRT I soon will be 71 years old and didn't get HRT until I was 68 years old and I will not stop taking my HRT Thank you for sharing

Thank you for sharing your story! Estrogen can make all the difference. Sorry to hear it took so long to find relief, but we’re SO glad you are feeling better now!

So I had ER &PR + breast cancer (in my right breast and I’ve had a right sided mastectomy). If I can find a doctor that will put me back on HRT would I still go to the oncologist who wants me to take an AI? I just don’t know who go to, but I know I want HRT back!

I am miserable in the peri. And 3 doctors refused to prescribe me HRT because of the atypical ductal hyperplasia (which is stable for 3.5 yrs - since the disvovery that is and negative biopsy) and family history (even though my mom had a totally different type of cancer and it was after menopause, and she had never taken any type of hormonal therapy. Well, that's their secondary argument. Even if it didn't exist, the 1st one would be good enough reason for them to refuse me HRT.). And even at the risk of CVD, they won`t do that. I`d rather have another 10 yrs of somewhat enjoyable life, with the risk of cancer, than live like that when I feel like killing myslef to end it all every single day. How do I get access to estrogen therapy?
