Please don't beat yourself up over HRT.
My older sister was on HRT for over 10 years.
She is 12 years older than I.
When I asked my GP for HRT some 15 years ago , she was definitely on the NO side. This was at the time when the link between HRT and Breast Cancer was all over the media and so I did not take HRT.
Guess what?
No Breast Cancer for my sister who had many years on HRT, but I was the lucky one. How ironic was that? My cancer was also hormone receptive.
I guess what I am trying to reassure you with is that none of us really knows, not even the medical profession.
