HRT and ovarian cancer
by Chelan, May 20, 2003 12:00AM
I was diagonosed last year with a Stage 1 borderline ovca. Because of my age (I'm 34) and no children they did not perform a hysterectomy at the time of my surgery. I've now decided that it's time for the hysterectomy, but my specialist insists that I take HRT or he won't do the surgery. Although he states I could safely take it for a couple of years I'm not comfortable doing that. My understanding is that borderline ovca have a tendacy to be estogren receptive and because borderline ca are harder to treat I don't want to tempt fate. Also, I have several aunts who've had Breast Cancer. I noticed in a previous response that it was mentioned that HRT may be protective in ovarian cancer and I haven't heard that before - could you explain. I'd like to make an informed decision about HRT and before I change specialists.
Thanks.
Thanks.
