My mother, just entering menopause, started hormone replacement therapy after seeing an advertisement on television for Prempro. I didn't know about her decision until a few weeks ago when I watched her pop her daily pill at the bathroom sink. I was stunned.
Some women are just afraid of everything.
Colorful analogy, doctor, but I don't buy it. They make me feel better. Menopause is certainly not a disease. Luckily, hormone replacement therapy is still a good 25 years away for me. That gives the pharmaceutical industry a good many years to explore the link between HRT and cancer and to convince me that the treatment is as harmless as a pachyderm.
