  • Michael Baum, Professor Emeritus of Surgery and visiting Professor of Medical Humanities, University College London, answers these FAQs: What percentage of women get breast cancer? I went through the menopause last year and have been troubled with ongoing menopausal symptoms since. Would it be safe for me to take HRT? I have a family history of breast cancer, is it safe for me to take HRT? I have been taking HRT for 5 years and it’s controlling my symptoms well. Could I continue taking it? Should I stop because of the risk of breast cancer with HRT? I went into premature menopause in my 30s and have been on HRT for the last 5 years. Should I stop HRT now because of the risk of breast cancer? I have a family history of genetic cancer and my mother had breast cancer. I carry the (BRCA) gene mutation and went into an early menopause after my ovaries were removed. Is it safe for me to take HRT?

    I'm a cancer rehab specialist and one of my recent clients got breast cancer after being on HRT for just over a year. Her doctor is certain it was the HRT that caused it. Her mother passed away from breast cancer and she's not been given any genetic testing. There seems to be a big push for HRT in younger women now starting peri-menopause but I'm very dubious as to how safe that really is despite the other benefits HRT brings.

    I had breast cancer that was labeled ´estrogen receptor positivé. It was encapsulated in a duct and no lymph nodes involved. They took me off my HRT. I want it back!

    NOTHING I can say would CONVINCE you; so
    FIND out for YOURSELF.
    "The Hormone Myth: How Junk Science, Gender Politics, and Lies about PMS Keep Women Down" by Robyn Stein DeLuca is a very concisely informative read on this topic.
    "The Greatest Experiment Ever Performed On Women" by Barbara Seaman is also vital, and ought to be a "required course" in the journey of being female!✍

      Your oncologist is full of shit. You should educate yourself before commenting. Estrogen doesn’t feed cancer. It’s a big fat lie

      @alexislopezamezquita6800 Women have been lied to based on the media reporting on a trial called the WHI and a trial called the habits trial. Estradiol and progesterone NOT progesterine are safe and possibly protective. The number one cause of death is heart disease not breast cancer for women. You need to educate yourself. I have er/pr+ breast cancer.
