In 2001 I had a full hysterectomy after a diagnosis of Stage 1-2a ovarian cancer. A month after the surgery I begin BHRT with Bi-Est cream (80:20), progesterone cream, and a small amount of testosterone in a cream. Through the years, the doses have changed because of the results of saliva testing and symptoms, but I would never give up my hormones unless they were no longer available by law. If that happened, I'd probably cry for the rest of my life! I am 68 years old now, and people tell me I look like I'm 50. My skin is great, not too many wrinkles, I have no pain to complain of, my stamina is equal to a 40-year-old, and ageing seems years away. The ovarian cancer has never reappeared. I am still working full-time and probably will continue for years to come.

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.
