By the way, doctor. I am 59 years old, in good health, and have been on HRT (estrogen and progesterone) for about 10 years. I have tried several different preparations, but despite this, have developed a uterine fibroid, experienced indigestion, gained 20 pounds, and had one abnormal mammogram (with, thankfully, a negative biopsy). Because there is heart disease in my family, my doctor wants me to stay on HRT for the rest of my life. Can you suggest any alternatives?
