waiting/HR/got a date

I finally got my date - 3-4 - the waiting is difficult - I have stage 4 endo - having a TAH - I will have 6 weeks off. I am 48 and am struggling with the HR issue. My doc says go with a low dose then cut it in half - then get off altogether. We didn't discuss how long that would take. My Mother died of breast cancer and I am reluctant to take anything. I know many women rely on them. I am also concerned about sexual changes - the problem is they found this unexpectedly through a lap (thought they were removing an ovary and a cyst) - but all of my organs are fused to my colon and it is a mess. My sex life is fine now and if this messes it up I will be furious. I have no symptoms except Aunt Flo is crampy and clotty. Thoughts about either of my concerns.??

Hi Lumbee,

I have not had any problem in the sex department, in fact it is better somehow.

I can understand your concern about the cancer in the family issue and hrt. Yes, to be on just a while and then taper off will be easier on the body. A lot of women get off or don't take it for whatever reason. It can be done, but takes time and you might need to look at alternatives either before or after surgery.

Hope everything works out well for you.
