Hi all, I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2013, I had chemo for six months and a month of radiotherapy, I've been taking tamoxifen since. In 2017 I found out I had a giant football sized ovariancyst growing on my right ovary, my consultant decided to do a total hysterectomy. I have been suffering menopause symptoms for some years now at times awful symptoms. I have been to my GP a few time about these symptoms in which I was told because of the type of cancer I had I cannot take hrt and sent away. I feel so alone as I don't know what I should be doing and because I can't take hrt I feel like I'm being left to suffer. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks for reading x️

    Can you take it one symptom or side-effect at a time? What's having the biggest impact on you right now?

    There are lots of old threads about different aspects of menopause if you search for them.

    It is frustrating when everyone gets excited about HRT but there are lots of us in the same boat, and I'm glad for the people that can have it.
