HRT

Hi all, I am nearly 2 years post chemo for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and my GP has advised that I start on HRT gel for some early menopause symptoms. I have been reading into HRT and am obviously concerned about the increased risk with cancer however my GP is concerned about osteoporosis. Can anyone shed some light on HRT post Hodgkins Lymphoma and how they felt on HRT. For some context I’m 36! Thanks x

    Hi SunshineQueen,

    A very warm welcome to the forum. 

    I would suggest that the best person to answer this question is your consultant, who has all of your medical details to hand. You might also find it helpful to speak to one of the nurses on this site. Draw up a list of questions first and then you can work through any of your concerns. You might also find this article useful.
