Hi there,
Im happy to say that I finished my treatment for triple negative BC exactly one year ago. I also tested positive for BRCA 1, so had my ovaries removed in August. So while I’m delighted that I’m currently out of the woods re cancer, I plummeted head first into menopause.
I want to ask the group / nurses what is the guidance re HRT as a treatment option? Given that triple negative is not driven by hormones, is HRT an option?
if not are there other options?
thanks to any advice x
Hi Felippe,
Firstly good news that you’ve completed your treatment a year ago
Sorry that you’re now going through menopause at a rapid rate … To the best of my knowledge, regardless of which type of B.C you have had, Dr’s are loath to prescribe HRT…
I had my own initial TNBC diagnosis early this year, and had to immediately stop using HRT …
Maybe worth exploring more natural type alternatives ?
