Surprising news about breast cancer is that some studies are showing over 95% of them are curable.

As women outlive their breast cancer it’s important for them to be able to make informed decisions about their hormonal health that will enhance their wellness as they age.

Over 15 studies have now been done that show that women after breast cancer can take forms of Hormone Replacement Therapy without inducing a recurrence of the breast cancer.

In fact Dr. Joann Manson in JAMA in September 2017 published that taking hormones, even the non-bioidentical hormones studied in the Women’s Health Initiative (using the hormones on average 7.2 years) was not associated with risk of any cancer mortality during a follow up of 18 years!
