My mother has triple negative breast cancer, diagnosed when she was 69. Despite this, I'm on hrt. I'm well aware of the risks involved, but have absolutely chosen to use it as my quality of life was zero 10 months ago.
My mother is very vain, and had had multiple breast augmentation (implants, one of which leaked, I believe is was the one in the cancerous breast), breast perfection procedures, nipple perfection procedures, her last breast surgery pre cancer was when she was 45 (had implants removed, breasts lifted and tucked - apart from the hideous keloid scarring, they were like the breasts of a teenager) etc, etc. she'd also never, ever had mammograms or ultrasounds on her breasts. her choice, as in her mind she is still 20!
I'm a little more cautious, I have my two yearly Pap smear, I have my two yearly mammogram....if any issues arise, I will deal with it then. So, as a well informed woman of the 21st century I will use hrt - it's my right to choose!
