My consultant and gp want me to start hrt for reasons you will already know. I'm concerned because my mum had oestrogen receptive breast cancer that was discovered by accident. She didn't have a lump, but lots of small clusters. Had it got to lump stage it would have been too late. She was only in her 40s too so under the regular screening age. I still have not been screened and am fighting to be seen. We also have a family history of heart disease.
My question is, is there a hrt alternative that will help protect my heart and bones but without oestrogen? I'm not concerned about meno symptoms at the moment, just my long term health.
Thanks
L
