Edit: fyi i was rejected for hrt due to my cancer being hormone positive and the fact i sustained a dvt in the accident. But I wasn't necessarily after hrt. Being referred for dexascan and bloods taken to ascertain situation before any further action. Very sympathetic of my situation.
Just wondering if anyone has continued to use or started on HRT after treatment. Or whether it was a no no from person decision and /or medic recommendation.
Because of multiple fractures in car accident prior to diagnosis and am concerned about osteoporosis.
Because of concerns I have been referred to a menopausal specialist next week.
Thanks all
Hi FJ71
I was told that it was not recommended however it can depend partly on whether the post op pathology indicates a hormone positive cancer. Mine was ER and PR positive. So any hormone treatment could potentially raise the risk of the cancer recurring. However there can be a lower risk in some types of topical HRT. So your referral to the menopause expert is a good plan so it can be looked at in detail. Sometimes, I was told it was a risk vs benefit decision.
I discussed taking calcium/vitamin D to help protect my bones with my CNS and this was agreed as a good thing to do.

Mine is listed on all my appointment letters- something like Stage, grade and then ER/PR positive. Its the hormone positive ones that could be more affected by HRT
Do you have NHS app? Maybe on there. But the clinic should be able to access your records. I wonder if mine was on there because mine was positive- perhaps they don't put on if negative. Its not something I really know about. Mine was on the post op sheet and on every letter I have had with an appointment on. Might be different with different hospitals
