Thinking of asking for hrt patches at 67yrs

<< < (2/2)

Gnatty:
Yes, do ask for the Estring. It seems to help a lot of women for whom the usual pessaries aren't enough. Another option - Intrarosa which has some testosterone in it too can really help.

bombsh3ll:
I would absolutely ask for systemic estrogen, however you need to be prepared that your age and cancer history means you are unlikely to be able to access it through the NHS.

If you feel that the benefits for you as an individual outweigh the risk, it may be worth seeing a private specialist. I would do a bit of research beforehand to see if anyone you are considering treats breast cancer survivors and ladies who have been without estrogen for many years.
