I am a breast cancer survivor. When I entered menopause almost 15 years ago, my OBGYN started me on Premarin and then added Prem-Pro a year later. After taking Premarin and Prem-pro for almost two years, I developed metastatic breast cancer. After several surgeries, chemo, and radiation, I have been cancer-free for over six years. After my life-changing experience with breast cancer, I had debilitating hot flashes, night sweats, decreased libido, vaginal dryness, and my husband was about to ask for a divorce. After a visit with my local compounding pharmacist who consulted with my OBGYN, Oncologist, and Radiational Oncologist, my compounding pharmacist created a compound with Natural Estriol, Progesterone, and testosterone. This combination of hormones has been a lifesaver for me, my body, and my marriage. If these "life-saving" medications are taken away from me, I do not know what I would do. My life as I know it would be over. I beg you, do not take away my access to my hormones.
