Dr. Eleanor Galvin

I have no food for you.

I'm so sorry.

I might steal some of yours.

No.

So there's kind of a whole new thinking about HRT and it's a much more kind of individualised approach and kind of we talk about better ways of giving it in to people and

using what's appropriate for you and your medical history.

So generally, it's positive to start HRT up to the age of 60.

And even a little bit beyond that, as long as you pick the patients well and they need it.

And while we're all post-menopause, well, I'm certainly post-menopause, none of us are ever post-menopause, we're just always in an oestrogen deficit for the rest of our life once our period stops.

It doesn't just magically all get better.

So like how long people take it,

why they take it, that all changes, doesn't matter.

If it's only now she's getting symptoms, why should she suffer?

She should go have a discussion, perhaps about her history to make sure there's nothing in it that would mean she can't take it.

But I bet there probably isn't.

She had a stem cell transplant.

That is not for breast cancer.

And even people who have non-estrogen dependent, there's a whole different approach to HRT now, which is person centred.

If you're suffering, don't be suffering.

Go and see somebody and have a chat about what kind of HRT might suit you.
