I had a hysterectomy at an early age. I was on a synthetic hormone pill for years. I always felt like it really did not do much for me. I still had hot flashes, and mood swings, and was tired all the time. I had three children and a husband that would ask me if I had taken my medication that day because I truly felt out of control at times (almost on a daily basis). I found out my sister had triple-negative breast cancer then within six months later my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. I spoke with my gynecologist and he suggested I go to my local compounding pharmacy and speak with someone about the hormone cream. I made that appointment and now my family does not ask if I took my medication today because I am much happier, I feel so much better on a daily basis. This has really changed my life. Please do not take this away from people who truly rely on this medication to just get them through each day.
