My mother had breast cancer and so I did not want to take high levels of animal hormones. I took those until age 63 but was still having hot flashes and night sweats. I am a medical technologist so I found a doctor who would work with me on saliva testing annually and bioidentical hormones. Since I switched, I have been able to stop the night sweats and feel this is safer. I did not like knowing that horses were abused to produce estrogen. We have the right to try law and I will do all in my power to make sure this is available for me and my daughters.
