hrt
I have been taking estrogen- progestin hrt (patch) for almost 2 years and I was advised by my doctor to change to tibulone due to the fact that my breasts are dense. Do you think this kind of hrt will give me the same kind of benefits I have with the conventional hrt?
I too have been on HRT, but was prescribed unopposed estrogen, I have extremely dense breast tissue as well, and have had a bad mammogram result, pleomorphic calcifications (was told that hormones increases risk of breast cancer). Are you having regular mammograms? If not, please do so immediately. I had no idea about any of this and was shocked to find out that I had been taking a medication that can increase my risk to breast cancer and the OBGYN set up a mammogram immediately and sure enough, it came back bad. Please make sure that you are ok with hrt, I have heard that when you have dense breast tissue it is harder to read a mammogram so make sure that if you get one it is a digital mammogram, the breast surgeon I have seen said that it is always a good idea when you have dense breast tissue to always go digital. Good luck and please have a mammogram once a year or every six months as long as you are taking HRT. I am not a doctor, but have had some negative results with HRT, wishing you the best and keep us advised as to your status.
