Currently, I use a compounded form of bioidentical estrogen to mitigate negative effects of endocrine therapy for breast cancer. It is the only form of hormone that is safe and effective for those with breast cancer. I previously have taken bioidentical progesterone which was the only form I tolerated. Please do NOT eliminate our access to bioidentical hormones! Please read the recent artcile in NATURE about the possible value of bioidentical progesterone in the suppression of tumor growth in ER/ PR positive breast cancer. ONLY bioidenitical progesterone has shown this efficacy. Synthetic progesterone does NOT work. Thank you for protecting women's access to medical treatments that are necessary for our health and well-being.

Hear their stories. Protect their own words. Protect their access to compounded medicines.

On this page, we can only touch on the data that demonstrates the importance of compounded medicines to the lives of millions of people in this country. While the decision to take this vital therapy from patients and physicians might be profitable for big pharmaceutical companies, it will be disastrous for the millions of patients that those same pharmaceutical companies cannot serve!

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

Explore our interactive map that demonstrates the importance of compounded medicines to patients all across the country. Filter these first-hand accounts by state to see just how vital compounded medicines are.
