However, in 2006 another report came out stating that women taking estrogen only therapy had no increased risk of breast cancer, but in 2010 data showed women taking estrogen-progestin hormone had risk of breast cancer spreading to lymph nodes at a higher rate of speed. How is a patent suppose to not be scared at all these different findings, and also how are they suppose to know what the right decision is for herself. I think we as women need to be proactive about our health, and need to be our own advocate. The reason women are prescribed HRT is to help alleviate symptoms associated with menopause, hot flashes, trouble sleeping, etc. Are these issues affecting us enough that we believe we need treatment. If the answer is yes that these things are affecting our quality of life, and I have no doubt they do for some people, then I feel absolutely they should take the HRT. Every medicine, not just hormones, are prescribed as the benefits outweigh the risks of the side effects. If your symptoms are minimal and do not affect your quality of life then I would take the HRT, why take unnecessary
