Well that is a very important warning I wish I had known this after my wife's first operation since then she changed HRT four times because not all of them were suitable hrt's. Anyway it was very hard to live with my wife suffering blackouts and borderline aggressive behaviour. Hope itis all cool for you both. Don't know if you know my wife med history Mrs specialist but she is a fourth time cancer survivor and her last was pelvic cancer so we've had a very tough fight against cancers since 1996. One day I may even write a book about this believe me our experiences are beyond belief since she was given for dead two times firstly in 1996 and 2009.

Your wife may like to consider NHRT (Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy). It has worked exceptionally well for my wife.
Advantages:
Tailor made for the individual from blood tests or saliva sample.
Derived from plants (not animals). Not strictly natural but not synthecised.
Reduced incidence of side effects. (No side effects in our case)
Formulation easily changed or rectified.
Also available for males (Different prescription!)
Disadvantages:
Not well received by pharmeceutical companies
Not recognised by many doctors, but has to be prescribed by a doctor (work that out)
May have trouble finding a doctor with sufficient knowledge/experience.
Cost: Not sure on this one. Around $400 per year for us
I can help with contacts in either Toowoomba or Newcastle. Otherwise google NHRT.
Interestingly, if you google NHRT side effects, the search just brings up HRT side effects.
Ricardito. Very sorry to hear of all your troubles.
Mrs Specialist. Stay strong
Regards

There is a misconception where the hormone treatment is concerned. What my wife is on, in not HRT. The breast cancer that she has is hormone driven, so the drug is to suppress the relevant hormone so that it doesn't feed the cancer. It is very similar to the testosterone treatment that Sturdee is on if you have read his thread.
When they suppress the hormone that feeds the cancer, it prematurely brings on menopause, that is what she was getting at.
Thank you for the HRT info, I will file that away for future reference.
