HRT

Can I just ask how you get a referral to a menopause specialist? Do you need to ask? I am 47 and not been through the menopause yet, but concerned there has been no discussion about this pre-op. Do you have to wait until post op?

I spoke to my cns because I was concerned about osteoporosis given my fractures and the radiotherapy to my pelvis.  I don't know how much my accident had to do with my referral but 8 weeks prior to my diagnosis I was the victim of a serious car accident which broke my left femur and 10 bones in my back as well as other fractures.

I'm not so concerned about the other menopause symptoms.

I found out that there was guidance issued by the British Menopause Society and the British Gynaecological Cancer Society on the management of menopause symptoms which came out last August. It’s quite accessible to read, but in essence it isn’t a flat ‘no’ for HRT if it is an endometrioid cancer. It depends on your grade, stage and age.  However, it also says that there hasn’t been enough research to be categoric in all situations.
