Hormone replacement therapy is a godsend. Bioidentical stuff is the best, and it's going to be the Ponce de Leon for those who are smart enough and rich enough to do it wisely ... but DO IT.

It was a blessing to me for sure-

I had cancer at 30- treatment caused menopause. I went through over a year of hotflash misery before getting on HRT and I am SO much happier.

The Dr told me that I had to- because of my age if I had gone all those years without replacing those hormones I would do horrible damage to my bones, my body--not good.

Oddly enough being on HRT REDUCES my chances of getting the very cancer that caused the problem in the first place.
