Advice please.
i was diagnosed with endometrial cancer two years ago.
I had been taking hrt and in all honesty, it had been a life changer for me. I suffered badly through perimenopause and hrt was amazing. I obviously can’t take it anymore.
Ovaries out and I thought, I was doing ok, however, in the last couple of months I’ve been experiencing several symptoms - Hair loss, rage, sweating. Has anyone gone through the same thing? Any advice? I try to keep healthy and have recently upped my exercise classes.
Any advice would be gratefully received

Hi
Yes, I had BC 15 years ago, so had to pay to see a menopause specialist, who eventually prescribed low dose HRT.

Last year, the cancer came back and I was also diagnosed with a further sarcoma. Full hysterectomy and my Hrt was stopped immediately. I'm on hormone blockers to make matters worse. I'm suffering terribly.

Why can't you take HRT if you've had your ovaries out? How old are you? Was your cancer hormone driven?

I'm experimenting with CBD patches and oil for anxiety and rage. Veoza ( private only for now) for sweats and a good caffeine shampoo for thinning hair.

Maybe give menopace a go? Sage tincture?

Best of luck
🤞

Thanks @Enigma52 . I’m so sorry that this has come back.

My oncologist has advised me not to go back on hrt.

Thank you. Great info. I will look into it
