Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Controversial: The use of Hormone therapy is a highly individual decision especially for someone who is BRCA positive. Consider seeing a genetic counselor to calculate your individual lifetime and 5 year risk. Then counseling could be done regarding hormone therapy products.
