I am a 55 year old wife, mother, and grandmother. I had to have a complete hysterectomy 2 days before my 32nd birthday and was put on traditional hormone replacement. I stopped it within 3 months out of fear because my mother and her twin were both diagnosed with HR+ breast cancer after taking estrogen for 10 years. I tried it again because the menopausal symptoms were so bad, but did not get the desired relief and gained so much weight. I finally found a great Dr. who put me on bio identical compounded hormone replacement. After some adjustments over the course of a few months I felt like I got my life back. I no longer suffer from the inability to sleep , or the hot flashes and night sweats. I have not had a uti since i started this therapy, which is a miracle itself, as I had one after the other for the past few years prior. I also got back a normal sex life, which is huge for us, because prior to this therapy not only did I have a body that didn't work correctly I also had absolutely no interest. With cBHT I feel like a whole person for the first time in over 20 years. My life would suffer tremendously if this therapy was not available to me.
