Hormone replacement therapy, or HRT as it’s usually known, can be a phenomenal, life-enhancing treatment. Whether in tablet form, patch, spray or gel, it can help combat some of the worst symptoms of the menopause – from hot flushes and insomnia, to low mood and muscle aches.
But for women who’ve had breast cancer, unfortunately, it isn’t generally an option.
HRT works by topping up falling oestrogen levels – the same hormone that drives many breast tumours – and this raises the risk of cancer recurrence. So these women are generally told to steer clear.
