Good thing one moment , bad thing the next moment.....medical profession undecided.
I would not be keen for my wife to take HRT as in my opinion it increases the risk of breast cancer following long term use, as that is what it would be for pain pain.
That's it from me.

There was an article in the daily mirror today, saying that HRT helps women's bones to not degenerate, and the breast cancer bit was recently proven incorrect as the test sample of women was not enough, and further tests over many thousands of women has indicated that there is no risk of HRT causing breast cancer. So, is there anyone taking it that is over 60? my nurse practicioner is over 60, and she said in passing " no one is going to take my HRT away!" So, what do you think.
I do not think they know what the risks are with HRT.
As far as I can see they change their minds every couple of years or so.
The best , most sensible and reasoned advice I got was from our local menopause clinic. Why not find out if there is one in your area and ask your GP to refer you ?
(Only drawback was that it was held in the GUM clinic....for those unfamiliar with this term, the 'special' clinic....for those unfamiliar with this term, the clap clinic.)
