“Breast cancer, hysterectomy with ovaries removed and menopause at 42.”

I went into surgically induced menopause at 42 during breast cancer treatment. My hormones were seriously messed up. Had 25-30 hot flashes every day, terrible brain fog, and very disrupted sleep. I finally found a doctor who suggested compounded progesterone to sleep better at night. I'm 70 now, have been using it for years and my quality of life is greatly improved. I cannot for the life of me understand why you would consider removing a life saving treatment. Please don't do this!

We encourage the appropriate committees in both the House and Senate to hold hearings on this critical issue.
