I became anemic and unable to function normally from several fist-sized fibroid tumors in my uterus, requiring an urgent full hysterectomy. Part of my recovery was to be placed on bio-identical hormone replacement. I am not a candidate for synthetic hormone replacement, as, breast cancer runs in my family and I needed to be careful with hormone replacement therapy. My Mother passed away at the young age of 56 from breast cancer.
To this day, twelve years later, I am still taking my bio-identical hormones. They have helped to keep me healthy, physically and mentally, as I give back and care for others in life. I am thankful for my essential hormone therapy, without it, I could not be me.
