Hi there and thanks for posting

I am sorry to hear you had treatment for hodgkin lymphoma a couple of years ago and are now experiencing some menopausal symptoms.

As you know some cancer treatments can sometimes cause women to go into an early menopause and it can be a challenging time trying to manage and come to terms with these symptoms.

Whilst there are risks associated with any medication these need to be weighed up against the benefits for each person, looking at the individual circumstances. HRT can be beneficial for many women in managing troublesome menopausal symptoms and can also help to prevent osteoporosis, especially when going through menopause at a younger age.

You may like to look at the sex, fertility and hodgkin lymphoma web page for more information, that also leads into information about hormones and cancer.

There may be other people on here who can share their experiences and lymphoma action also have support groups, but really this is a decision only you and your own doctor can make.

I hope this helps a little but do remember we are also available over the phone on 0808 800 4040, weekdays 9-5 (except bank holidays)

All the best

Naomi
