Biodenticals or Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy

wrsmith2x

I had a complete hysterectomy in 2004 and then BC in 2007 so I stopped taking the HRT that my gyno had prescribed after the hysto.  I have just started looking into Biodenticals or Nat. HRT.  Anyone with experience with this after BC?  Since my tumor was triple neg and not hormone related why did gyno even stop my taking HRT upon BC diagnosis?  Is natural that much better?  Would it be safe for me?  I am considering a free consult but just wondered if anyone here could give me any insight?

I don't know the answer...but also triple negative and if I go into chemopause want to be able to take hormones...

I do know that tumor types can change. For rexample, if you were dx with ER/PR- and you have a reoccurance or mets those tumors can be ER/PR +. HRT's are scary. I went to a Dzughan Method distributor here in Ohio-they treat people with bioidenticals. The doctor told me that if I decided to use bioidenticals to treat my menopause he did not want me to come back and sue him for giving me hormones when he knew I had BC. There is not enough info/studies to show the effects of HRT. There are some positive studies, which he showed me of course, but he wasn't sure I should take them. He left it up to me and I opted out.

There are plenty of studies showing the effect of HRT after breast cancer. Just look them up.
